Your correct in the fact that there are some guys who cross the line but most of us dont. Its a fact that passengers want experience in the cockpit and if you were to tell them that a 300 dude was in the front, they MIGHT walk off the airplane. Would you? Would you put the most important people in your life on that airplane and hope for the best? I think your view point may change when you gain more time and experience. Meanwhile, keep at it, im sure we will see you soon in a 121 cockpit with MORE experience then you have now.
I absolutely agree with you, i did not mean to generalize all of the more experienced pilots into a group that insults and degrades lesser experienced ones and for that i apologize, my only argument here is to get the few that does disrespect us to stop, You can call me lesser experienced because i am. You can say im not ready for 121 because im not. But dont degrade me, thats all i ask.
