The high time rec pilot winds up doing different things

I took this to mean a pilot with a Recreational Pilot Certificate.
You obviously meant something else, probably Private/Comm Pilot.


shooting an ILS to mins at night, in an airplane he only got
into that morning, with no operative directional gyro and no
compass light (thus no heading indication at all) - or some
equivalent mess. Single pilot.

Oh...a true Idiot. So...airline pilots can't fly because they
are unwilling to risk their life like that idiot Private Pilot?

Just where do you live?
