Meh. In my opinion, you're just borrowing trouble. Drama for drama's sake, in other words.

This is a difficult craft to learn. It's even more difficult when someone presents with a style that is as combative and prone to butthurt as yours.

I'm pretty sure the major disconnect that is occurring is that you are approaching the 'can I learn this' problem from a very different place that we all know to be true. Without meaning to, you said some foolish or unadvisable things, and when cautioned ... react as if personally insulted.

What most of the guys were offering was a gut check after you made a few unintentionally nonsensical statements. They brought up concerns regarding what, to anyone with a bit of experience in the field, would be seen as a red flag.

I've got a pretty good idea where the root of this misunderstanding is coming from. Some of your entering arguments are in need of adjustment — to better align with the reality of how a pilot is taught his craft — but the game's not worth the candle at this point.

Again, I wish you luck, but you will not find what you are looking for.
