After their initial 250 hours on GA, they never want to fly light aircraft again. I have met so many. To them, being a pilot is just a job.
I wouldn't beat them up over that. I am sure many of us find our job, flying or otherwise, start losing its gloss once reality sets in.
Sonic69, I've been lurking on these boards for ages, contemplating options for a mid-career switch to flying. Your sharing is most appreciated and I applaud your patience with some of the questions posted.
