tell you what, why don't we ask the passengers on US Airways flight 1549 whether they would have preferred a fresh outta flight school pilot or one that had both military training and thousands of hours of flight time in the cockpit? as Captain Sullenberger responded to Katie Couric's interview question:

Katie: "Did you think you could handle it??"

Sullenberger: " I KNEW THAT I COULD DO IT" (sounds like a man who is confident in his abilities).

He also stated that he felt that he had been training for this in flight crisis (engine out on take off = big trouble) his entire career. when faced with unbeatable odds, EXPERIENCE and TRAINING steps up and takes care of business. upstarts fresh outta flight academy are still learning to fly....same goes for any other field including medicine.

here's an idea; you stay with your fresh outta med school docs, I, on the other hand will go with the Dr. TRAINING + EXERIENCE = world class skill set.

Good luck, you'll need it.
