oooooh dont get me started.
If you want to fly you will do it if you get sponcered or not.
Guys and girls that wake up one morning and decide that they want to be pilots, but only the easy way - get my goat.
If i hear another cap509er (they were called that in my day), moan about vfr nav or spinning because they wont be doing that in their boeing... i will scream.
Turned down two sponcerships i did and i would not have missed the self improver route for the world. In fact i would have stayed poor and in my instructing job longer if i could.
In my experience, operating an airliner is so unlike flying in the true sence that it is unreal.
Yes just 200hrs to airliner you are missing out on lots and lots of fun. So with all your new money, spend some on learning to fly a little cub or something and encourage others.
