Hello,
Not to create a bad vibe here, i respect everyone and their opinions.
I am still a student pilot and starting university soon. but when i started my flying training i read a really informative book ( 02FO ) that taught me to keep this 4 types of aviation personnel in mind, they call it the " Four Friends":
- Sceptics
- Sharks
- Know all or Hangar Pilots
- Government Bureaucrats
You will find them along your career.
Just to finnish i agree to a certain extent with everyone's point of view.
Like Scroggs said and it is true we should listen to the professionals, but as wannabes we should also be asking questions, this is one of the ways where we will be gaining knowledge and apply that information gained when necessary, regardless your age.
This is a forum, we exchange information, we learn from each other, we discuss.
Happy Flying
