I'm not a real Pilot?

I've used MSFS off and on since I was a teenager, and I used it
extensively during my instrument training. It saved me a lot of
money for learning instrument procedures, and it was a great tool.
But nothing about MSFS *makes* one a REAL pilot. I'm a newbie pilot
with a fresh commercial certificate and a still wet instrument
rating. But from the little bit of trudging around the skys I've
done, there's no way to simulate the real thing. I've "flown" level
D airlines sims before, and they don't even compare to flying around
in a real C172.
Everyone knows, however, that if you haven't flown an airliner, you're
not a real pilot. A C172 doesn't count--or does it?
Yes, it does, fjukktard.
The "real" qualifier is a moving target, depending on whom you're
talking to, and who you are. I don't know that having a few hours in
a C172 would count much among 747 pilots. Everyone wants someone else
to look down upon.
Fortunate that you;'re here then, isn't it? No fighting over who has to
pull bottom rung.
