Wow, this thread is going downhill faster than a Bonanza full of Doctors!
Ed, I seriously doubt that your motive is anything but flamebait, but in case you're serious, go find yourself a new hobby. Other than trolling the internet.

Hey Ed, I was a pre-med major in college 25 years ago. I was thinking of doing something else other than flying. Do you know anyone that would hire me to be a neuro-surgeon? Your knowlege of commercial aviation is on par with my medical knowlege .... just enough to be dangerous. By your statements, it would appear that you would not be capable of being an airline captain as it requires common sense. Enjoy your retirement and please stay on the ground.

i wouldnt want to operate with this tool ....or fly with him. That attitude of yours is pathetic doc. You should know better. Do us all a favor.. leave the flying to the pros and buy urself a first class seat. Since you are so rich and all.

Hey, Im not to the airlines yet, but I know that it takes a ton of hard work and many years before you can rightfully assume your place in the left seat, especially at a mjor airline. I'll assume you understand from the flow of the previous posts that what you want is, for all intensive purposes, impossible. Much like the medical world it takes years of work and practice to get to the top in the aviation industry.

I just turned 50 and thanks for the advice. It would just be hard for me wearing a $20k Rolex and driving a car that costs more than most guys make in a year to sit in the right seat and copy clearances and get the captain coffee. I'm over the internship thing and really just want to accomplish my next goal in life. I have heard that flying an airliner is easier than a cessna so just want to stand on top of the mountain without being a sherpa guide if that makes sense. Surely if you talk to the right person this is a possibility? It's not about the money, it's about the challenge.
ED why don't you Pawn the Rolex and BMW and Citiation and just buy your own Airline?
Since you would be the owner you could become a the Chief Pilot too.
You could design even design a new Uniform and I imagine yours would have
"5" stripes instead of the usual "4".
You know Ed, I'd be honored to serve you a cup of coffee....... do you take "Cream" with that Capt?

I've taught many "aspiring" military pilots...and we get a few classes of flight surgeons every year... It's the flight surgeons (all Doctors of some sort) that bring the class averages down. They usually "circle the drain" through ground school. It probably has a lot to do with the common sense thing... Case in point Ed...
