You really need to meet some more Cirrus Pilots!

We commute in it on occasion and fly in and out of a 2270' runway that a lot of 182 pilots won't bother with. While I hate the airplane itself, would never own one, and happen to agree that there are a lot of "money men" that shouldn't be flying one, you just can't make a generalization like that. |
I too, am a Cirrus pilot, using it in a business environment. I too, don't think I need remedial training, and neither does my insurance company. I actually like the plane, know it was the best choice for the company and its mission.
Also know that ALOT of Cirrus pilots have more time in logbook them most new hires. While not saying much, we are SAFE pilots.
