The one thing I've learned over the last 13 years....take other pilots opinion with a grain of salt.....this pertains to:
Money
Stock decisions
Bidding
Commuting
Training
Whenever a pilot starts advice with " what you
should do that is the first sign that you may want to seek advice elsewhere....
Whenever a pilot or future pilot asks me for advice, I usually say " there are many ways to...... I did it this way but only because my situation was....... But you'll have to decide what is best for your situation....." Too many pilots think they have it all figured out and they're way is best.....and they'll let you know it....
BTW, the one time I followed the recommendation of a pilot, I lost out big on a stock purchase......... I believe his exact words were.... " you have gotta be crazy to buy them, they be bankrupt in a month...." Instead I would have probably quadrupled my money by now.....
Lesson learned
