So, just to be clear, is it agreed then? All of us PPLs (who haven't crashed or aren't dead yet) should just call it quits and leave the skies clear for you salaried greater mortals to occupy in complete safety. I believe that I was taught to fly by one of the best who has undoubtedly subsequently signed off many of your licenses. I was one of "those in their 40's of the business man variety" who perhaps chose that career path in order to fund my love of flying. I consider training and currency a serious matter in much the same way as salaried pilots do but voluntarily and at my own expense. As for the comment about occupants, not pilots of an R44, your attitude and ignorance knows absolutely no bounds.
