I remember feeling very proud when I landed after my initial instrument rating test for the CPL/IR and the examiner said: "Congratulations, you passed", also when I was down at the CAA to get my 737 rating on the licence or on my first line training flight landing in Malaga....oh and dealing with the odd emergency. Other than that, I feel, and airline managers/general public make me feel like a glorified bus driver (no disrespect to bus drivers intended).
