But I bet something that you have never done in the simulator an aborted takeoff (at will say V1) when suddenly the cabin fill with smoke!!! That one (real flight as a pax) scared the pants out of me, I did not fly that day ... and I had other (several) aborted take offs and landings and two emergency landings.....

They have one more aborts and missed approaches in the simulator than they ever will do in the real airplane. BTW, flying the simulator is more difficult than the real jet, so if you can handle the simulator, flying the jet is a non issue.

Good training does build a good pilot but it also weeds out bad ones. By the time you get to this level you are either good or working at Burger King.
