I think the type of pilot you depict is one of the most dangerous type there is.
Keeping a licence current with bare minimum hours.
Remember coming back to a local field and been looked down upon for flying a rag and tube microlight and being told I was crazy by a guy that thinks his regular well beaten 50NM flight is something else...... dried his eyes when he realised we had flown back from the Isle of Wight to North west Ireland.
Keep your chin up, it was a lesson that you have learned from, and to boot you had the balls to post here and let us know, that fact itself leaves me in no doubt that you will continue to be an excellent instructor and career pilot.
