I don't want to be the best pilot in the world - Just the oldest

I would hazard a guess that the guys and girls working for the likes of KFS, Polar, Tripicar, Broome Av, Slingair and Aligator to name but a few, would ALL rather be doing what they are now and that is getting real command time and experience.

It is fast but there is a sudden stop to it. And at $80K - $90K you can spend that same money much more productively and be far more employable at the end. Not many GA operators with Barons, Chieftains etc are going to have much use for somone with hundreds of hours the Co-pilot column and bugga all in command.
Too much blue sky and your flying becomes sloppy.
Is that meant to be a general statement or just what happened to you?
