Hey Scroggs, you think you're hard done by flying a 747 classic?
Try going around in a C150aero, with NO electric trim, an up/down switch for flaps that isn't gated, trying to find flaps 10, high elevator forces you frantically need to trim off, now begging for + climb.....anytime now would be nice..........please........PHEW! Also, you also must remember such things as carb heat cold!
Not forgetting, PPL's actually have to FLY the plane - you've got a F/O to do it all for you!
