And are you seriously comparing the SWA pilots or the the Fedex pilots to your analogy of high time pilots? They had quality and quantity. Do you serisouly believe that the pilots of the SWA flight didn't have quality and quantity? Do you really believe that the FedEX guys were low time low quality pilots? Please don't even put them in the same sentence or forum as the low hour pilots. Accidents happen. Low time or not. What bothers me is that because you have a few hundred hours in a Cessna tooling around with your buddies in the clouds that you have it all figured out. From your earlier post you aren't even through training yet and haven't even done one line flight. IF you pass training and get on the line maybe you will see what we are talking about.

I'm so sorry captain that I will never be as good as you are. I wish I could be as good as you captain. I never once said I had it all figured out. I never once said I'm as great of a pilot as you captain. I bet you're the type of guy to say your car has more horsepower than someone else. I bet you're the type of captain to say this is my airplane, you just sit there. I'm so sorry captain. I'll just quit now because I'm just a horrible pilot compared to you, even though you've never flown with me.

Let me go fly my C150 around for 2000 hours and then I guess I'll be a much better pilot then. I'm sure I can pull it back to 5-6 gph and just go in a circle to make me a better pilot like you captain.

Oh, and btw, I'm doing very good here. K, thanks, goodbye.

DetPilot - I agree. Thats my point. I've had a ton of experiences, failures, etc that has made me a better pilot. Thats the point I am trying to get across. You can have a ton of hours, with no experiences or less hours with the experiences.
