AC_DC We don’t disagree. I objected to the terms of abuse that were being heaped on this man/Woman and the way he was being vilified. Of course you can’t get competent at RT by opening a book, likewise you can’t regain your currency.
Look let me make this clear. I would rather not share my Airspace with anyone. Every time I fly I want all of you to sod off and land, but that won’t happen, neither will only professional pilots be flying while I am up there. The point I was making is I would rather be up there with someone who has recognized he has faults than with some of the Super Pilot contributors on this forum that never ever ever make the slightest mistake. As to Professional pilots, I stick by my comment about the Lear jet. Just because you get paid to fly doesn’t make you a professional.
