Honestly! My intention was not to upset people!
I value all the comments that have been made.
I guess the bottom line is, to gain experience, we are probably going to have to spend on a rating, whether thats an Instructor, Type or the CTC option.
Judging from the responses, the former is probably the most realistic.
Feed back is what we need, we do need help and perhaps guidence too. That is what I was trying to do, for all the guys. OK I should have been more careful with my words, as previously stated. But one or two responses have been a little harsh too....
All the best
