Not a chance. It's a wonder he holds any license at all.

Feel free to inform Dave Smith, the FAA inspector with whom
I took my Part 135, single-pilot IFR checkride that. After he laughs
in your face and throws your ignorant ass out of his office, then go
look up any one of the dozens other professional pilots both
ex-military and civilian whom I've flown with and tell them that as
well. As a retired fighter jock and esteemed listmember recently
told Tarver on this NG, you Mr. McNicoll remain one of the lowest,
most despicable, forms of animal life. For someone who has never
received nary a dime as a professional pilot, for you to demean,
discredit and accuse without basis is an outrage. Nothwithstanding
of course your REALLY earth-shattering contributions lately such as
Yeager was the "first to break the sound barrier (duh) and the
Wright's were the "first to achieve powered flight" (no ****?) and no
"prop plane has ever achieved supersonic flight" (yawn).
