There are some morons and flightsim pilots on here, but there are also a huge number of experienced pilots, most of whom will give you a great deal of useful assistance and advice if you frame your questions in a sensible way and do your research first. Having said that, don't ignore all the negativity - there are some people who hate their jobs and would discourage you from a career as a pilot. Try and filter out the facts from all the ranting and come to your own conclusions...
