I bet you're the type of captain to say this is my airplane, you just sit there. I'm so sorry captain. I'll just quit now because I'm just a horrible pilot compared to you, even though you've never flown with me.
Let me go fly my C150 around for 2000 hours and then I guess I'll be a much better pilot then. I'm sure I can pull it back to 5-6 gph and just go in a circle to make me a better pilot like you captain.
Oh, and btw, I'm doing very good here. K, thanks, goodbye.
DetPilot - I agree. Thats my point. I've had a ton of experiences, failures, etc that has made me a better pilot. Thats the point I am trying to get across. You can have a ton of hours, with no experiences or less hours with the experiences.
In one respect I am glad you are NOT at 9E. I have had the pleasure of meeting (and will be flying with) many of the lower time guys. They are polite, sharp, and ready to learn through experience. I hope you make it through your first year with that attitude (sarcasm)- or do you only let that out on a public message board?
I mean you no ill will, but I am appalled by your attitude with 500 hours. I was there once too and it was at about that time that I had a "never do that again" moment. Ironically in a C310. It was a humbling experience that thousands of hours later still reminds me that you can never know everything and no matter how much experience you have every flight will bring a new challenge.
