RWH,
Definitely not me. But now that you asked, in my own opinion, a great pilot would be one who is willing to share one's experience to others and not use one's added knowledge in putting other people down. A great pilot is one who is responsible enough to acknowledge one's mistakes and doesn't blame others for his/her predicament. A great pilot is one who knows one's limitations, and makes sure that these limitations doesn't stop him/her from learning more. A great pilot is a true professional who thinks highly of people who are also professionals in their own right and does not demand respect but earns it. Greatness is in how others see you and not in how you see yourself.
I thank you for reacting to my post. We learn so many things in this life through the different people we meet, personally or fictitiously.
