Thank you Unhinged
Dick Smith, in one of his attacks on professional pilots (remember all we do is read the paper with the autopilot on) pointed out that he had many more hours in more advanced types than that required for a CPL.
"I just haven't done the required exams" he said, or words to that effect.
VH-XXX it was only after 8 years as a CPL, once I had become a Chief Pilot responsible for the safety and standards of a charter organisation, that I
truly appreciated the difference between a professionally trained, well supervised, developed pilot ... and the rabble of PPLs at an Aero Club.
With over 1,000 hours of PPL flying, I can walk into a flying school, sit some exams and do a flight test
So "you said it yourself" - get a CPL (I mean, it's ony a couple of exams isn't it?) and do the course.

No, in my opinion as a RAAus CFI, GA CFI and an ATPL, that is
NOT the case. The fact that
With over 1,000 hours of PPL flying
you don't understand that simply underscores my point.
