I appreciate your kind words, well-wishes & perspective gained from many years’ work at a profession you love. I ‘get it’ - you can always tell a pilot in a room...but you can’t tell them much...and gaining wisdom from them becomes a continual exercise in culling the wheat from the chaff for different reasons at different times!

If anything lesson learned is this is a group that doesn’t take criticism very well because they all think they fly like Chuck Yeager, and they think being trained to be a mindless procedure follower makes them Albert Einstein. You have to bite your tongue a lot out there but it really is a very fun and rewarding profession. The job is very easy, especially once you get some seniority, and pays very well once you get to the next level.
Best of luck young man. Keep looking 5+ years ahead and you will do well in life.
