There is a natural exuberance for learning a new skill and flying is particularly so because it allows us to see the world differently - literally!
During this time you have sat next to someone who is a fount of knowledge, has your respect and, in extremis, will get you down safely. This person may be just a couple of rungs further up the ladder or could be someone with a vast wealth of knowledge about the industry.
However, once you have jumped through all the hoops and finally qualified you will soon realise that this industry is not static but is constantly changing to meet new demands. It is only those at the 'coal face' who have an up to date feel for what is actually going on out there. Here in these forums you are fortunate to have pilots who willing pass on their advice to people starting out.
They don't do it for any altruistic reason other than to hand on tips and views that draw on their experience. Believe me - the same mistakes are made over and over and over again!
