Why do you see yourself as a hobby pilot and not a recreational pilot?


Why do you think a recreational pilot is more serious about flying than
a hobby pilot? Usually, you call a recreational activity a hobby when
you start to pursue it more seriously. Frankly, this word picking debate
is ridiculous, silly and outright childish.

So, you just choose to call yourself a hobby pilot for no reason?

I've seen pilots in my career who did nothing but fly for fun and recreation
who were among the finest pilots I've ever known, and I've seen pilots with
a professional title a mile long who were the worst of the worst.
That being said, conversely, I've seen recreational pilots not worth a pail
of spit and professionals who were a tribute to the term.
I'm not quite sure how fancy titles fit in with the competence issue. :-))

strategic sort. :-)

So this would mean that when your wife asks you whether she looks fatter in
the red dress than she does in the the blue dress, you say what?
