I dunno - a 380 or 747 captain spends most of his flying time on autopilot
up in the flight levels. They probably get as many approaches and
landings in a month as your average Dash-8 or Beech 1900 pilot gets in a
day. In a world that valued skill, you'd have the guys fresh out of
school flying the 380s, and when they got good enough they'd fly commuter
airlines until they got *really* skilled, then they'd fly Aztecs doing
freight dogging.


As a former Aztec flying freight dog, I thank you for your kind comment.
There's a lot of weather between the surface and 8,000 feet.
