A student of mine is a fw first officer for a reputable carrier, flying 737's. the usual stuff, he focuses too much on the gauges rather than looking outside, horribly tense on the controls, jerky movements, sh&t scared doing emergencies (he confessed that when he was a fw student for his ppl that the only emergency they practised was a glide approach...).

anyway about 20 hrs into his training flying along straight and level, i casually ask him "so, why do you want to be a helicopter pilot?".

he looks at me with a smirk on his face and goes "mate, i just want to be able to pick up the chicks!"
