I Blame GPS

I was too old to fly the line when I sorted out my career love. I'm one of those who would fly for free, just to fly. I draw the line at paying to fly, that's too needy. I stay away from the B vs. AB threads, way too ignorant other than my prehistoric skills and prejudices. I admit to being partisan, though, and DC-ATE has my vote. Training to fly a digital Beast neglects Some of Wolfgang's dogma?, a loss, in my opinion. I like DME with its built in altitude gotcha, because it makes one think and reason. Not to say that the little stick isn't a valid alternative, just a different, and very sophisticated platform. The Trend is toward complete machine dependence, the Drone is approaching. Along the way is a forever lost Spatial awareness/dependence; I listen to my Butt cheeks in a turn; rather than read digits. Just sayin'.
