£40 ish a flying hour,

Still on a PPL and after 1400 ish hours i've realised that it's not CPL/PPL or 200 / 2000 hours that counts it is ability and nothing more, yes time builds experience but experience and inteliigence
are the factors in ability.

Just because anyone has passed a test with an examiner at commercial or private level does NOT make them competent, other than on the day.

I do not mean to denigrate the very low hour commercial guys with this, but the attitude that a commercial licence means you are better than private is b**l!!!!! (you may have been tested to a higher standard)

Some of the best pilots (not all) I know are private, (with experience) and some of the more mediocre (not crap) are commercial.

Sorry for being contreversial but truth hurts.

I have a J.A.A CPL(H) test in the next two months and pass or fail my attitude will not change.
