Llen,
Sorry if I have came across as bitter and twisted. Let me assure you that I am not. I am actually a very positive person, but I always state that facts as I see them.
What BoeingMEL thinks of me is irrelevant, but what is important is that you make the correct informed decision for you.
It is upto you what if any advice you take but beware. I had the benefit of knowing a few pilots to ask questions directly before deciding if aviation was for me, perhaps you have the same?
