As a student pilot I feel proud to be able to fly aircraft. You should all be ashamed at covering up what you do/love. No offence but my friends all introduce me as, if not a pilot, a budding pilot, which I also find not everyone believes, but thats up to them. And as for chatting up the ladies or gents ( whichever is your fancy ) you all seem to be embaressed. Be PROUD, be a pilot, and you might enjoy it, and get better results. Lets face we should all be of reasonable intelligence, and should be able to use this hobby/career to our advantage.
with love B
