Trust me, I’d much rather go feck about in a J3, but that’s not going to make me better at my job. Just my opinion  |
I have a buddy who is retired from American...he flew F-111's from Uncle before going to American. He did spend a lot of time in 737's. I sent a link to the opening article asking his opinion. So far, no response. So, I'll wait to hear from a guy with many hours in a 737.
But Nate, I'll back you up on the SIM time...my buddy was frequently in a sim...
Gawd, how my buddy hated aging out of the air national guard. He did indeed love flying fighters.
