I'm not a real Pilot?

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.

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.

Completley different. You wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting anythign
I fly, light or heavy, on the ground in one piece.

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.

She's lucky you're not an otolaryngologist.
Why do you care what a 6th-grader says?

Yesterday my daughter was confronted at school by
some (6th grade) classmates, they said her father was
not a real pilot.

I think you're a real pilot. But for some odd reason you like to
sit inside a metal (or wood and fabric) box all the time.

I normally invite those that tell me I'm not a real pilot to go up and
fly around in the clouds with me and see if they can land the plane.

I've landed with the plane once and I didn't like it. I much prefer
getting out and doing the landing by myself. I try not to hassle the
airplane pilots too much, though, because as far as I know there aren't
any BASE objects that will get you 10,000 or more AGL.

Heh.

One thing I've learned as a parent: *everything* is an educational
opportunity, even if it is about the low grade of humanity that manages to
reproduce in apparent violation of Darwin. Seriously: if she sees how you
can shrug off that type of comment, she's a powerful tool in her quiver
(to pointedly mix metaphors {8^).
