Well... What's the definition of sophisticated?
How many pilots do you know who :
- read novels , not a Biker magazine or combat history book
- watch real movies, IFE and latest Pixar DVD with the family don't count
-listen ( Radio 4 anyone? )
-talk ( e.g. a real political discussion that does not end after 2 min on how useless all politicians ( hardcore right wing hawks excluded) ,minorities, banker and airline manager are
- have interests outside of the world of aviation, bbq's and sports.
Arts , theatre, opera or music anyone? ( Lion King musical with the missus excluded)
Not saying they don't exist AND not saying it is necessary or superior to have these other interests, but I frankly havent met too many in my 15 years in this profession who I would describe at exactly sophisticated..
