The pilot licensing process is not restricting you, lack of money is

Both are. I have a strong aversion to useless bureaucracy and
credentialism, and aviation is rife with both. But it is also true
that I have no money.

Your desire to (as you said) fly a King Air under IFR in and out of
IMC is shared by almost everyone.


A Baron is very different from a King Air.


No it isn't. They are both airplanes and they both fly in exactly the
same way.


I'm only interested in the
Baron. If I want to fly something bigger, I'll fly a Boeing jet.



You will never fly anything, fjukkkkkwit.




Your distain for recreational VFR flying is however shared by almost
no one in this newsgroup.


Because most people in this newsgroup are hobbyists who like
recreational VFR flying. Many of them probably don't even know the
names of all the instruments on a typical Baron panel.

And many pilots look upon the licensing steps as challenges met and
experience earned.


I look upon them as a waste of time.





Of course you do, you're a coward.


Some people enjoy jumping
through hoops; I don't.

There is one way that the licensing process is restrictive in a very
good way: It protects the safety of the public. It places legal and
functional hurdles before those with "too much money & too little
judgement", although it leaves wiggle room (Kennedy, Munson, Lidle).
And most importantly it gives the public comfort that the person
sitting at the front of the metal tube has met the minimum standards
to pilot them to a safe destination.


Then why are there so many GA accidents?


there aren't, fjukkwit.



And you seem to want to bypass all that, stand with the people who
have walked that road, and insist upon being taken as an expert. Not
here, not ever!


I learned long ago that those who feel they must "pay their dues"
spend their entire lives being trampled by those who know better.



Bwawhahwhahwhhahwhahwh!

Says he from the bottom of the dumpster.

Way to go bankruptcy boi
