Dear Skol, sorry to offend you. To me it IS a big deal. I worked hard to get here and am proud of it. Sorry if my joy sounds like bragging but I am, in turn, put off by guys who think this is just another job. I have even read some guys referring to himself and other pilots as "trained monkeys." Sheesh, what a jaded attitude for a professional pilot.
For me, it is really special to fly airplanes for a living and I encourage any young (or old) person who yearns for the romance of flying, to join our ranks. It is still romantic if you embrace it that way. If it is just a job, become a Lawyer.
So, once again, sorry to put you off but that is how I feel.
