Sadly,
he isnt the only fool to feel like this. When i did my first tr (after 12 months FI work, and 4 months airtaxi work) there was one guy who was straight out of training who used to go on and on about how glamorous flying should be (and how we should all wear hats - we dont)
he struggled alot during ground school, and line training. but before he got on line daddy paid of his bond and got him a job in asia flying a300's as a cruise pilot!
he had poor handling skills when he left, im scared to think what his flying will be like in two years time when they finally let him land a plane!
as for me, i love flying TP's, are sectors are anything from 12 minutes, to 2 hours 30 min - give me the 12 min sectors any day!
