That's what I meant. Most 121/135 guys who try and are competent get through right?

[QUOTE=MartinC08;1785030]it's not the 20 year olds having issues, but the 45-55 year olds? Is that a real shocker?[/QUOTE

Age isn't the issue.

[QUOTE=Kprc1;1785034]Is it a training department issue? Or pilots aren't competent issue?

Unless you work in the training department you really don't know. IT has peaked my curiosity though.

It was more so a question vs a statement. You're right, I don't know.

It doesn't take someone from training to tell you that. A line CA can easily attest to the fact that the 45-55 yr old 152 type pilots are out there and struggle way worse than the rest. Most typically have accumulated time slowly while working in a completely different career field. Those are the ones to watch out for!

ok, age isn't the issue. Type and time of time building is---


i.e. a pilot who had built 1500 hours over 20 years struggles more than a pilot who has built 1500 over 2 years.

Obviously a 23 year old can't fly at 3 so he's falls into the latter. While a 50 year old probably falls into the other group.

Flying freight was the best thing I ever did. Looking back at how much I didn't know when I had 1,000TT, and looking now 1,000 hours and 200+ of that in actual later. Yeah I was an idiot. Still kinda am though.

Facebiter? Perfect bait here...

Hahah lay it on me bro. I'm getting meh 121 jet time then going to Murican in 6 months
