Exploring the world one toilet at a time.
What's the story on this one? Blew through the TEB departure/ approach? Or "Cleared direct destination." "Uh, we don't have that fix on our flight plan?"

Just 135
Not as noticeable in 121 but basically anyone in a corporate jet cockpit now
Quality?
Yes, waiting for FACTS to support the "feeling."
Seemed more like a "spontaneous utterance" than a rant.

A ton of experience was sucked up to the airlines during the hiring boom. I can only imagine the hoops Argus/Wyvern are jumping through to qualify people nowadays in the 135 world.

You're obviously the meatsack in a 172 blundering through @NovemberEcho airspace wondering why you don't have a bravo clearanceQuality?

I have stories for over beers about that exact thing.
Hence my comment, because that was back in the day.

Actually I was thinking of this accident…
That again was rated 0, as in, not allowed to fly (be PF). I mean, seriously.

You missed the point and referenced a departure against an accident that was on an approach. You’re doing great.

This comment is about as insightful as saying, "Anyone who drives a Toyota Prius sucks."
Maybe there's an element of truth, but it's mostly ignorant rambling based on some anecdotal observations.
