Well said, Hard Working bloke, there. Trouble is, you have touched on one of private aviation's sordid little secrets: at least half of the desperate addicts love all that phonetic alphabet, airline pilot stuff. Why, they probably own, gasp...pilot bags, discuss headsets in front of non-consenting adults, and are keen to find out if they can log the time if they sit on a bus next to a bloke who once went flying . Why it is that anyone should wish to emulate the members of a poorly paid, badly treated, not even high status anymore profession who spend their time minding machines to see that the thing that goes bing! is indeed going bing! at the appropriate intervals is itself an impenetrable mystery, beyond mortal understanding.
PS none of this applies to any airline pilot who has ever bought me a drink in the bar at the airfield (must look up the code one day), all of whom are very Gods of the skies.
