I am fed up with feeling like I have to justify why I became an instructor and why I am NOT building hours to work in the airlines and why I really (still) at this moment have no desire to head that way. I sat in the pub fielding such comments from an ex-instructor, ex-charter pilot. Frankly, I shouldn't have to justify it and yet I still feel the need to. Without instructors none of the other buggers up there would even be up there!
Rant over (for now).
