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.

vs. a simulator only gamer, that just thinks he is a pilot, and never flys
at all.

Not really any different. 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.

No, it isn't, fjukkwit. And you couldn't fly a chuck glider properly
anyway.

It's impossible to know who is what on USENET. That's why I evaluate posts
based on their content, not on their authors.

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.
