I once had the pleasure of positioning an aircraft across the UK with a 100hr PPL who did not know that I was a 1000hr+ instructor. He assumed he was more experienced than I for some reason.

Needless to say the flight was a fun experience. For the first 100nm he endlessly corrected my minor infractions. Approaching East Mids I was able to rather promptly climb above 8/8ths STC speculating we would "find a hole" at destination.

It was amusing watching the VFR warrior skirm in his seat until I told him at the IF that I held an IR and the following approach would be conducted to minimas.

No matter how experienced you are in aviation you should remember that the bloke across the club room in the scruffy trousers is probably John Farley and by opening your mouth you are only inviting your foot to enter.
