Who cares what anyone thinks. When I meet an ATP I usually say oh you're a real pilot and we laugh. A better distinction would be professional vs. amateur. An amateur pilot flies when he wants to; a professional pilot flies when he is told to. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

As I've said, people always look for something that distinguishes themselves from others, and then set it as a threshold for some level of competence to which they wish to lay claim and from which they wish to exclude others. The actual distinguishing feature shifts constantly so that it always falls in just the right place, and in most cases it is very trivial indeed from an objective standpoint. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

The actual distinguishing feature shifts constantly so that it always falls in just the right place, and in most cases it is very trivial indeed from an objective standpoint. What would you know about objectivity, you can't even get a grip on reality. And who gives a **** want you said, you make it crystal clear you know absolutly nothing about people and human behavior by your complete inability to participate in a public forum. And we have done nothing to exclude you, you exclude yourself by refusing EVEN a single, read *ONE*, flying lesson. Just an empty and endless list of EXCUSES as to why you can't. You're just and endless river of childish BS. |
