Pilots' motives for making lifestyle decisions.
Regardless of experience, self-gratification (to the exclusion of everyone else), and self-percieved aggrandizement ALWAYS remain the overruling drivers for pilots.
0 - 10,000 hours pilots make their decisions SOLELY on the ensuing, regardless of location:-
Newer/Newest;
Faster/Fastest;
Bigger/Biggest;
Best Looking
....when searching for employment, watches, and women (in the case of women, "bigger" refers to bustline, lips, and sexual appetite!)
10,000 + hours pilots often find themselves in a quandry when
$$$$'s are factored in to the equation.
...they realise that by choosing the biggest, fastest, newest rather than SSS's, they might LOOK good while they're at work, but LOOKING good doesn't pay the bills, buy that investment property or put money in the bank!!
