Machismo
I know I am going to get blasted for being a CFI but I am sure none of you on here have ever done that though. So I guess I'm a rookie, a dumb robbie pilot, insert your quip here. I am however, always willing to listen to older more seasoned pilots so I am asking a simple to the point question.
Mate, I don't think you need to be quite so defensive on this site when asking a question as you do on that other site that you posted the same question.
I think you'll find all sorts of pilots here with all sorts of standards without that cloak of staying totally anonymous.
