I'm not sure about you but I think the average person respects someone who earns/works hard for a job, not pays for it.
Well obviously you havnt read my posts in other forums. #1 I didnt pay for my job, i paid for the training I needed to get there...period, you dont have to believe it, or accept it, but it is fact. You like to spend time not knowing about what you speak of, thats fine, I dont answer to you. I did my investigation, the program I did was highly recommended by my flight instructor, who happens to be a captain, chief of training and check airman at his charter outfit. I sincerely trust his judgement more than yours, and Ive only ever had two pilots even comment about it to my face, funny there were 700hr cfi wonders at a party, who thought they knew it all. I have absolutly no problem with the path I took, you do your thing, Ill do mine, the only people I answer to is myself, pilots I know and "respect", and my customers. Hmmm seems odd that none of them have a problem...you guys can scream, kick close our eyes and say the sky is purple all you want, I happen to know its still blue, Ive beat my head up a brick wall trying to explain that but hey keep up that(" us against them attitude"), I'm sure it boads well on those interviews, ever wonder why you didnt get called for a job when someone with lower time did, one word, ATTITUDE..
