"But, but, ....
I flew 747s for Delta, and B-52s in the USAF, retired as an O-6. I've probably forgotten more about aviation than you know"
"So what you're telling me is that you've never flown a prop airplane in your life, and you haven't flown solo in over 30 years."
Almost an exact quote from a conversation I had with a "high time airline pilot".
It's exactly this. It's not just the never flying props or the lack of solo time, as any wet commercial lacks experience, but combine the Macho attitude and that's what makes them so dangerous. I used to think the hazardous attitude examples that crop up in training programs were caricatures. Not any more.
