I happen to fly a Cirrus for our company and have had the task of teaching a 10,000+ hour corporate jet captain *edit*

which I feel qualifies me to say that I don't need remedial training. *edit*

Puddlejumper doesn't need remedial training either. I know that for a fact.

I too, am a Cirrus pilot, using it in a business environment. I too, don't think I need remedial training, *edit*

Also know that ALOT of Cirrus pilots have more time in logbook them most new hires. While not saying much, we are SAFE pilots.
Therein lies the problem....I'm sorry, I haven't met you.

Your all being good Cirrus pilots is GREAT to balance my perspective, because I have yet to meet a Cirrus pilot:

- who doesn't think that they are God's gift to aviation/invincible -or-
- can fly to Private pilot PT standards -or-
- who flies a traffic pattern less than 160 kt -or-
- has their head outside the cockpit more than playing with all the buttons

Call me jaded, I'm just calling it as I see it; and, from what I've seen, the pilots flying Cirrus are far from professional.

Now, don't take this as a personal attack against you personally - I'm sure you are an excellent pilot. You just seem to be much more the exception than the norm.
