It takes six months and some King tapes to become a professional pilot.
Even when trying to compare a professional pilot with a barber it is a stretch.

Nope.....I had the chance to ask my barber today whether she thought our training was similar. She said that there was nothing similar in our training paths. So I feel pretty confident that if I ask the barbers over on mainside that I'll get the same answer since she is one of the most experienced ones on base.
Professional pilot = barber? No....myth busted.
