You claim that guys can't judge you without knowing you or how you fly, attitude has a lot to do with it, it's pretty clear how you feel. Everyone holding a commercial pilots license should know how to fly, you don't get extra points for that, attitude is everything.
I can see where that can be mis-taken but at no point in my post did i say i have payed my dues. I made a comment on how all young pilots are assumed to not have paid their dues and some of them have. I never said me or mentioned any names.
Yes i say the people telling me i am not humble are wrong because i am humble, i am as respectful to the more experienced pilots as i can be. The people disagreeing with me here have a problem with my attitude towards those who have frustrated me. That is understandable and completely ok.
Im not here for a popularity contest man i just want to stop being insulted as a pilot just because i havent worked 121 before.
Attitude is alot of it but most deff not everything, i think everyone here would agree that some people get their tickets and still dont have the 1st clue about some things, so skill and knowledge also have alot to do with it.
