I
consider paying $250 an hour for each hour of flight to be very stressful.

Translation: I live on $600 a month

I ain't too far from that, SSA pays about $880/mo
Still flight time is doable tho, even if it's only once a month.

Story in the paper a couple weeks back listed commuter pilots as
making less than $20K a year. How accurate that is, I don't know.


I don't think it's $250 an hour for flight time here tho.

I
consider having to spend thousands of dollars and trudge through endless
paperwork just to be allowed to fly to be unacceptably onerous.

Translation: I ain't smart enough to pass the written test.

All he needs to do is study

I consider a
requirement that one be in Olympic condition to get a license to be an
unnecessary burden.

Olympic condition???
He should see some of the pilots we have out at the local airport. One
has to crawl up the wing (low wing aircraft) to get in the door.

That's why they make 182s and 210s. You could haul a piano in one.


Sport pilot takes care of that.

I consider the inaccessibility of ownership of an
aircraft to be a major disappointment.

Translation: Nobody wants to buy me a plane.

Join a flight club.
Very few people own their own plane here, but I think we got 1 or 2 club
planes.

I consider the possibility of being
killed to be an uncomfortably high risk

Translation: I sleep with the lights on 'cause the monsters under
my bed come out when it's dark.

cars will kill ya too, even more so.

I consider the absence of bathrooms
on some aircraft to be a major inconvenience.

Translation: I have chronic EXPLOSIVE diarrhea
