Oh sure didn’t mean it in a “couldn’t be bothered telling you way”. More like we won’t try to convince people that think it’s pointless and has no added value to the growth of a pilot. Besides just because a pilot didn’t do the pilgrimage doesn’t mean they are a lessor candidate. I do know for me at least, it put me in multiple sticky situations nearly everyday. I probably needed it!
There were some good times and some bad times I’m just glad I didn’t get killed as quite a few I knew did. PNG? That’s another level again...
