"I will be an airline pilot in four months with ExpressJet." I heard this more f*cking times from a ppl student that I had a while back, a student who had no place in an airplane in the first place. He will soon be one of a million totally inexperienced, over cocky, shi**y flying ATP grads sharing our skies. I can't say all ATP grads are terrible, but I can say that it is impossible to be a good pilot after being zero time and getting three months of training and some ratings. After some instructing experience is gained, most turn out ok.
