Truth, be told, it’s always the wannabes and bullish..... s that want to talk about being a pilot. I don’t because firstly , we normally have to go through the “ why do planes crash ?” and “ aren’t you scared ?”. Sadly, I’ve noticed , being a pilot becomes the most interesting thing people want to talk about with you.

Take it down a notch and I’ve noticed jealousy from a certain demographic that manifests itself , which basically says “ you do nothing and get paid a fortune “, why can’t I do that ?, when, of course they wouldn’t have the sticking power to pass PPL airlaw.

And of course, don’t mention it when you want building work done , because it puts the price up.
