Everyone knows, however, that if you haven't flown an airliner,

The "real" qualifier is a moving target, depending on whom you're
talking
to,
and who you are. I don't know that having a few hours in a C172
would
count
much among 747 pilots. Everyone wants someone else to look down
upon.

You labor under a typical misconception for a non-pilot - you need to
actually talk with some of the large equipment pilots if you really
think that any of them look down on pilots who fly smaller aircraft.
I know quite a few, and not a single one of them feels this way. In
fact, when it comes to preference every one of them would rather be
out flying a Piper Cub than an airliner.


Well, not every one.. Just the real ones.

Would you rather be out driving a bus around, or a sports car? Never
mind, I think I know =your= answer...

Microsoft midtown madness!
