“Which would you rather fly with.
A licensed pilot who flies small planes who only learned in a real plane, or a pilot who is flying a plane for the very first time, who only trained on a very realistic computer game?”
Your scenario is false…………………….
The licensed pilot who flies the small plane is likely the only pilot (unlike the TWO pilots on the Citation X I flew back and forth to Boca Raton Airport yesterday).
The licensed pilot flying the first time with passengers in that B787 is not in the captain’s seat. In the captain’s seat doing the training is a licensed pilot with many thousands of hours in large commercial jets. To be perfectly honest, I’d rather fly with that 55 year old captain with 20,000+ hours commercial jet experience and 10 years military flying than someone with your limited hours.
