My idea of flying is always having an aircrew and thats something I've really looked forward to, not this solo stuff. I love Aviation to pieces just like everyone on here... I just have to find away to get through this solo stuff.
Has anyone gone through this? Does this sound similar to anybody?
This raises some red flags to me. Every wanna-be professional pilot I know couldn't wait to solo. There is some natural apprehension, that's normal, but if you find in the long term that you really don't like flying solo you may want to reconsider what you are doing.
The crew environment will not serve as a crutch forever...someday you will upgrade to regional captain, and end up flying with with a weak FO who will want to use YOU as a crutch...
