Remember to log your lightning strikes, take pictures of the hail damage,and don't forget to include those in your application. Reciepts for your hospital bills are also recommended for proof of experience. At Pinnacle we are constantly dodging tornadoes on final, at night, on leg 9, while little lightning bolts streak across the glass so bad that we can't see our hand in front of our face. I was told we have a flow through with the Hurricane Hunters because we're such ballers. Be serious SLIP, if thats how you feel and thats what you fly through then I think I'd rather have my family on a plane with the 250 hour wonder who wouldn't think twice about even launching into that because he's "too scared." I don't want my mom on a plane with you, unless your Chuck Yeager, Chuck Norris, or the Almighty himself, you're not making it to the airport in the conditions you described. Your post was entertaining though.
Very true. There may be challenges but those usually include trying to motivate yourself to pull out the right chart so you can backup the visual with the ILS or the autopilot button not getting pressed in all the way. Not many of us will get to test our skills like Sully.
