"Final word from an old sod. It worries me when aspiring pilots seem most interested in following the path of least resistance. If aviation is your passion, why don't you want to learn all their is to know about it? Why are you spending all your time and energy in looking for short-cuts? Aviation training has no equivalent to the X-factor. Ultimately, those who have put the time, money and effort into their apprenticeship make the best (and safest) pilots."
