I may disagree with some stuff, I do agree with some other, but basically I learn a lot from most of the posts, so IMO, old, grumpy but EXPERIENCED PILOTS, should remain in this kind of forum, maybe weŽll get a better understanding of the business.

I think Bill should stay. As a new comer to the forums and one of the "noobs" in the industry "who are destroying the profession" Bill loves to hate, I learn a lot from you old disgruntled guys (like how to keep from becoming old and disgruntled). I agree with Bill on some things (I may not know my head from my a$$ yet but I know enough to stay away from PFT and GoJets) and disagree on others, like I'm sure most people do. Which is why I come here. I would hate to come to a forum where everyone patted each other on the back and agreed with every thing each other said (sounds like some kind of wacko cult or political group).
I guess in the end, I wish you old guys who hate life flying jets would get out and make room for us youngins but I understand why you don't. Tough to make 6 figures as a greeter at Wal Mart, eh Bill? So I guess all I can do is learn as much as i can from you old farts till you either die or retire. So keep flinging that dung Bill!!!

I disagree
I could care less what you do. I, however, am done with these forums. There are much better ways to get questions answered and not have to put up with the B.S. -Later

You should stay, it always makes for interesting reading between hub turns. But since we're all "expressing" our feelings, I don't agree with the min time post
First I'm not a 300 hr guy. I've paid more than my dues to get my 5000+ hrs. I did the civillian route, flying corporate and crappy gigs (mostly single pilot) to build my time. I've spent my time looking at the panel of the 727 as well.
Look at the guys flying in WWII. Most 300 hr guys were combat veterans. You think a 500 hr guy could be a capt in a B-29 today? I do agree with you that it's quality of time. A particular capt I flew with performed very poorly during a go-around, this guy had been a capt for 13 yrs with us and before that, a capt with the F-Tigers. But the massive amount of A/P flying degrades anyone's skills. One King Air I flew for little over a year had a bad A/P. The owner didn't want to replace it, so I got to hand-fly it for over 500 hrs. Maybe there should be more focus on skills compared to number of hours.
Just my .02 carry on and blue skies
as far as time is concerned, there's a reason why you need 1500 to get an ATP. frankly, 300 hour guys in the right seat of any airplane with passengers makes me nervous. i would favor a minimum of around 1200 or so to fly for a 121 operator. even then, it would depend greatly on the quality of time.
