A&C
I started within the industry before I went flying and that experience made me a much better pilot
would prefer to hear an opinion on whether you ARE a better pilot from others..... however, without even knowing you I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that you've been subjected to conditions that have made you squeal like the proverbial "stuck pig" before now! If I'm wrong then you either haven't been in the industry long OR you're the top pig of the airline you work for......
