Personally I think both sides are just as guilty. The doomsday’ers or realists (depending on ones perception) and those who take the bait and debate them.

The reasoning I heard was that there were quite a few RJ and corporate types that had difficulty in training on the MD and 74.

Ironically, of all the training programs on property, the B747 and the MD were the most "gentlemanly" programs I have been through.
Some people just can't cooperate to graduate, and it has nothing to do with their previous background.

Cactus is 100% spot on. I know several Corp backgrounds here (some even post often on APC) and a few were in my class. All have done well and transitioned to Brown flying. We had 2 or 3 RJ backgrounds too, and they’ve done equally as well.
I believe attitude above all else will dictate your path here.
