I flew a full motion Boeing 747 at United's DENTK when I barely had a student pilots certificate, and I never made a landing that bad!!!

RAA....the biggest joke of all the airline academies!

That video sums up why low time, high price, hiring agreement type people should not be flying passengers around.

Actually, to be fair, I think that this video was from some Microsoft Flight Sim person who got a chance to fly "the real thing" and I don't believe he had any pilot certificates...

Flew a Level D Challenger 601 down at Flight Safety International in Tucson and didn't bounce it. That thing was a blast and one heck of an experience! My instructor's dad is an instructor there and gave me a tour of the place when we flew a cross country from Prescott to Tucson.

Wait till you get a couple new hire FOs in there trying to taxi the damn thing, you'll REALLY get thrown around. Seriously though, the sensations of motion are pretty accurate, they have to be.

I was jerking the tiller around like crazy during my first few sim sessions. After lesson 1, we started everything at the hold short line, or in position.... I guess we'll cover how to taxi when I upgrade!
