A question for the 30+ ATPL's reading this -
Either while working, or applying for jobs, did you get the feeling that interpersonal skills, management skills and system skills were given priority over stick and rudder stuff?
I ask as IMHO, the seat of the pants skills you either have an aptitude for or not. If you are "mature" with good handling abilities, is it better to consider Instructing as a long term career?
If you are younger, struggling with the xwind shortfield sideslipping stuff, but very good at CRM, IT and business studies, do you have a glowing big jet operator career?
