So very true.
The same applies to PPL Instructors with a few hundred hours. Looked up to by their students but barely one step ahead of them.
One had to file a flight plan and came to me asking me to do it for him as he had never done one before and didn’t know how to do it.
Another had an airprox and was hell bent on filing an MOR, until we put her straight.
I could give many other examples.
There is something very wrong with the Professional and Private Pilot systems that allows these sort of things.
