TC, you exhibit the very worst of pprune. The guy has enough balls to come and here and ask for advice and you tell him to go somewhere else?! I often liken pprune to a bar conversation - you would turn your back on him - shameful. He's not a wannabe, he's flying!! So where does a 900 hr private pilot like me fit in here then? I reckon private pilots are in the majority on here and always have been, regardless of pprune's precise title. Your 'I've got more hours than you' snobbery is the very worst side of aviation. And, in twenty years of flying, I've only ever seen it from pro pilots. I suggest you give him the benefit of your considerable experience, or were you born with an ATPL?
