There is alot of difference between a small craft pilot and commercial pilot. One of the big differences is the number of hours it take and the requirements. I would wager that less than 10% of small craft pilots have ever flown or know how to fly a commercial plane. Most airlines use to hire alot of pilots that had military in their background because of the training and experience they had.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!

I've never known anyone to parachute from a commercial airliner.  That is what I was referring to, you knowing pilots because you were a skydiver.

Well, now you do; I have personally jumped from a Boeing 727.  Commercial pilots like airplanes and being in the sky; it should come as no surprise that many of them skydive as well.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Every pilot flying jumpers is required by the FAA to have a commercial license.  And whatever you do, don't tell the folks at Emery Riddle that their efforts teaching pilots are being wasted.   :rolleyes:

No, they used to bring one to the World Freefall Convention every year for one day.  Almost everyone I know has jumped it.  You'd be surprised at some of the aircraft I've gotten out of (no blimps...yet).

All I can say is you're a darn sight braver than I am.  No way am I even going up in one let alone jump out of it.   :no:
