Ron, will you please listen to me for one second. Please. I'm not getting involved in your playground fight with Lucrum and I could give two fucks what's required to be a nurse. I am simply stating the facts about becoming a pilot and saying you are off base in your assertions. You seem to be having trouble discerning the difference between getting a "license" and being a professional commercial pilot. That is my only point. I'm not interested in throwing rocks on the playground with the two of you.

One more time for the mentally handicapped here. Those terrorists were NOT commercial pilots! They simply "took over" the controls of the plane. Again, I can sneak into Mario Andretti's formula one race car and drive it around the block. That does NOT make me a formula one race car driver!
It shows how easy it is to learn how to fly .Just because you have to fly thousands of hours to get a good job doesn't mean you need to be a genius to learn/know how to do it

Actually it is unlikely you could have completed a full lap at the Indianapolis speedway at full speed without hitting the wall.

Anyone can learn to drive a car. Not everyone can become a formula one race car driver. Seriously, what is wrong with our public schools today. This concept cannot be that hard to grasp.

John, so far, you have not quantitatively given me a reason to retreat, when you do, then I will.

I mentioned Formula One, not NASCAR. And I didn't say I was going to drive the car around any track full speed. I said with a drivers license I could hop into his car and drive it. Probably not very well, but I could drive it.

Retreat? This is a message board. You are an adult. I'm simply asking you to understand a very simple concept. That getting a license is easy in almost anything. I can learn to play the guitar. I cannot learn to become Eric Clapton. You keep throwing this license thing around as the sole basis of your argument when the license issue is moot. I could learn how to shoot a rifle. Becoming a sniper in the USMC a little harder. Is this concept really that hard to understand?

What is hilarious about the Google passing as knowledge statement is that you can Google RN and the MINIMUM they will tell you is 18 months!!!
Just sayin Mav, just sayin.
Some places are harder then that
I had to pass Anatomy and Physiology ,Alg 1,English 1 and 2,and Psychology 1 with a B avg just to get admitted into the nursing program .
More importantly is that you assert some gap in getting a commercial license for a pilot and actually being one. In allied health, if you can actually get the license, then you are the real deal.
I think this is the crux of the argument.

Yes, as I posted earlier, in Allied Health, you will get no license to practice unless you are the real deal. If I get an RN license, I can practice anywhere, at anytime, under any conditions. In the military, in a prison, at an addiction clinic, Obstetrics, Gerontology, Pediatrics, Dermatology, Psychology, anywhere, anytime. If I cannot do all of the above, I cannot call myself an RN. So apparently there is a serious gap between licensure and reality in aviation, and that is too bad.
