All valid in their own right, but you presented them as equivalent experience to guys like Hacker - not even close.
Shack.
I simply wanted to know where such an opinion was coming from.
Turns out, I got all the answer I needed from this, so I didn't really feel the need to engage in the discussion:

I am a big flying nerd, and it is not unusual for me to log 6 hours of flight and then come home and fly for 2 hours in my sim. Currently I have an FTD approved 737 with an instructor station. In about 2 months, I will have finished my T-6 setup. Laugh if you want, but MFS is an effective training aid if you use it like one.
