I've seen pilots in my career who did nothing but fly for fun and recreation
who were among the finest pilots I've ever known, and I've seen pilots with
a professional title a mile long who were the worst of the worst.
That being said, conversely, I've seen recreational pilots not worth a pail
of spit and professionals who were a tribute to the term.
I'm not quite sure how fancy titles fit in with the competence issue. :-))

Why do you see yourself as a hobby pilot and not a recreational pilot?

Why do you think a recreational pilot is more serious about flying than
a hobby pilot? Usually, you call a recreational activity a hobby when
you start to pursue it more seriously. Frankly, this word picking debate
is ridiculous, silly and outright childish.


So, you just choose to call yourself a hobby pilot for no reason?
