Oh, and as far as going out looking for hard IFR, and ice...you have to be a serious moron to be looking for that.
Some of us didn't have to look far. It was there when we got the job.
All I ever said was make the most of the time you fly. If you're going to go fly, make every moment of it count. Experience, vs. just building hours.
I find it unbelievable that anybody could be stupid enough to try to find an arguement with that. That one should strive to do the best one can with any undertaking, is purely basic. It's a minimum standard of action. Don't do something unless you're going to do your best. If you're going to fly for an hour, make it an hour of experience upon which the next hour can build. How hard is that to figure out, you bloody idiot?
