Command is not something that comes overnight.............
It is a never ending process of learning and developing. The First day someone steps into that Industry learning starts. Mentoring from the old and bold makes it what it takes to be ready for the Command.
Nursing is not the same level of exchanging exprience and make people think outside the box to be ready when the meat on the skeleton needs the meat as muscles for the brain who commands it.
I am glad that I went thru a abnormal career path in the past. That teached me more then every Aero-school has in the booklet. Today I am still in contact with some of my former mentors, most of them happy retired by now and I am also looking forward to leave in ten years from now. Hopefully been a good example from time to time for the future guys who I had the pleasure to share some time in and out of the Cockpit.
