Very true. I wonder, does the maritime industry work like this?! Can I (assuming I have boatloads of money) pay my way into a first mate or Capt position on a passenger carrying vessel with no real experience? I don't think this is the case. Why do we have such loopholes in aviation? How about a Gross weight tier system for airplanes?
