Why does anyone want to fly?
Answer 1:
Because you love it!
Answer 2:
Because you want to go down the pub try and pull a girl by saying
"Hello, I'm a pilot fancy a sh*g"
I think 90% of people that want to fly will say answer 1.
To those sad individuels that answer 2 there is no room for posers in flying.
On that note any type of flying should be because you enjoy it. As far as being useful for an airline career I think it is.
Any understanding of flying you have will be useful.
It helped me and I still love to do it when i get the chance. Th main problem with gliding is it very time consuming.
Dont stop it enjoy it, it is a lot more exciting than airline flying trust me I know!!!
