Sorry if I caused offence old chap, but have no fear- an airline PILOT job is not on my personal career plan.
You must admit however that your first post doesn't necessarily read like something written by a professional pilot - well I didn't think so anyhow. My differently cynical friend Jock however clearly disagrees with me - and to be fair he tends to occupy more expensive cockpits than me. As for whether I know anything about aviation? I'm still learning like everybody else but make a decent living from it.
And we do have a bit of a track record on Pprune of people who pretended to be what they weren't. The two best known examples are (a) still in prison, and (b) should be.
And I still think Jock gave excellent advice - would you have really got much but exhaustion from 4 hours in 2 days, other than as a passenger, when you were a complete ab-initio? I'd have just been totally maxed out.
