An Airline Pilot in Command's promotion in addition to his/her knowledge is mostly reliant on the experience which is tallied by the hours accumulated and when the Airliner doors are closed the captain becomes the final authority over the destiny of the ship.
Now, having said that, once you get your basic flying license after only 35 hours of flight time experience gained on a single engine two seater on a very light plane, one could more or less fly a Boeing 747 for all intents and purposes too, say in an emergency... as proved by the 9/11 terrorist who very precisely drove those jets at high speeds into very thin targets but that does not prove they were any competent pilots that under different circumstances they would have qualified to become the pilot in command of those jets.
Well, the long rant apart, the respectable VP candidate is to me a pilot with only say about 250 hours who wants to Captain an Airbus 380?!
She will at best manage to crash it into a tower...or maybe if the nation is patient enough and can tolerate many extreme potential hardships brought upon them courtesy of her lack of experience then possibly by the eight year of her term she may complete her learning by experience crash course, although GW is the proof that even that can't be guaranteed neither.
I am amazed at how wishful thinkers, are willing to place the destiny of their nation and country in the hands of such lack of knowledge and inexperience of a Red Neck populist?!
Please start your attacks by quoting a sentence of her that would demonstrate her wisdom and knowledge and if you don't find any other than popular quotes, then maybe you should reconsider if she is any different to say, Yeltsin, Chavez, Ahmadi Nejad, Gadhafi etc., whom all share and enjoy the same common denominator? Ignorance, lack of experience, Populist Autocrats who rely heavily on strong handedness to mask their own weaknesses.
