Well Gordon, I can only agree with tilii here. "Thanks" for the compliments. I also (like most of us I guess) have been an admirer of PILOTS in capital letters. Did my PPL thing quite early and then thought I was too "ignorant" to push my career. It took me another 20 years to realize my dream carreer
And it sure will need more time to move on the left...
During my commercial flying time I have met and worked with hundreds of pro. Like tilii points out, we all are mere humans, some of them "too" human sometimes
Take care
