I have great respect for airline pilots, but I do love it when they come for a checkride ... I've usually found that they do very well with height/heading/etc, although invariably spending far too much time head in the cockpit. However, the majority that I've flown with can't help pushing forward in the landing flare. Must work well in a 767, but quite exciting in a 172 !!
I've given up on making a decent living, but every working day I go flying with people who are incredibly excited just to be there
