I have to agree that qualifications don't really count for much in any field really, I remember back years ago I needed a small surgical procedure done, I asked a theatre nurse who would you pick, she gave me 2 names, I said any others and she said well if you're just having your toe nails clipped or perhaps a couple of stitches.

Best advice I ever got and I have applied it in everything that involves spending money.

When I look back at my flying career, I was lucky to have made it to 3,000 hours, since then I have trained many high performance turbine pilots with 3,000 hours and when I'm done, I ask them the question. So now you know what you now know, how do you think you went to get this far, and they agree, I was lucky.

Everything you do in an aeroplane is for a reason, if the reason is not there or is not sound, then you're doing it wrong
