  1. If I owned an airline and insurance company legally I can hire a 17 year old felon to be a pilot.You act like what you do is special when the facts are a 17 year old without a high school diploma can do it.

    It only took 6 months training for the 9-11 highjackers to be able to fly multi engine airliners into a building...just 6 months

    For awhile I was convinced that IQ-47 was previously OmegaPoint who worked at a hotel in Houston but he has denied that fairly consistently so that could be a misidentification on my part.

    But what job could be so awful that you would have to conceal it to such a degree as IQ-47 does here on ET.

    I know! Maybe he drives one of those trucks that slurps the raw sewage out of septic tanks and outhouses. That would be a vocation that a guy would definitely want to keep quiet particularly when he is talking trash about doctors, lawyers, engineers and pilots. :D

    Whatever it is it has to be pretty bad eheheh.

  3. I never trashed talked doctors, lawyers,or engineers.I doubt there are 17 year old doctors /lawyers with a license to practice medicine or license to practice law

    There are 17 year olds with commercial pilots licenses though

    Yes, although you'll probably go bankrupt as few if any passengers are going to buy tickets on a flight piloted by a 17 yo felon with just a commercial license. Not to mention only a fool would insure him.
    No, just more technically difficult than nursing and whatever it is you do. Assuming you even have a job.

    Given all aboard perished, I'd say they needed a little more training.
    Unless of course crashing into a building is considered a successful/profitable flight. Hell I'd bet even you could crash a plane, it's really not that hard.
    Gawd knows you crash and burn often enough in this forum. LOL

    Taking off and landing safely without scaring the passengers, now that's another matter.

    lol a successful pilot's logbook should log an equal number of takeoffs and landings.

    I was forced down once flight testing a new engine and ditched on a taxiway.

    The ground crew had a form that had two checkboxes at the top, Incident or Accident.

    I refused to check either box and wrote "just a tow" at the top of the form. The event didn't show up on NTSB.com :D

  10. They may not have your specific job but there are 17 year old commercial pilots and you are a commercial pilot
