Yes, but support does not always mean being positive, it also means sharing your concerns.
Capt Smithy has a range of comments, all of which are shared sincerely and can make a more informed decision - best of luck by the way Capt - hope you find some enjoyable "diamonds in the sky."
I am surprised that you should say that IO540 might be asked to leave a school because of poor attitude; he has strong beliefs that some find challenging, but has constantly helped his peer group on PPrune and many have benefited from ideas and research freely shared.

Yes, Final 3 greens, I do not intend to be unfairly harsh, though I do have a concern. I do not enjoy reading unsupportive "challenging" statments, within which I can find no beneficial ideas or research. For example:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"There is a pretty major difference between the two:
If you are a girl student, of reasonable (or better) looks, you are more likely to end up pregnant after 50hrs in a C150 than after 50hrs in a C152.
Ask any ATPL hour builder, and watch the grin
Both are ghastly planes, and the sooner they vanish from the GA scene the sooner we might move forward into the 20th century (notice I am being very conservative here; best to not over-innovate in this game). It's not as ghastly as the Tomahawk though
"

I just cannot see how such a statement could meet your measure of constantly helping a peer group. I can see how female pilots, C150, C152 and Tomahawk owners, and pilots, could take offense.
In the spirit of helping my peers, I shall curb my harsh observations, and concentrate on being supportive.
I do appreciate your valid opinion...
Cheers, Pilot DAR
