Addressing your comment, I find it hard to believe that an investment of about 30-60 hours for a leisure activity is harder than 6-9 years of cramming and 36 hour shifts for work with intense competition. Although getting your ego stroked always makes you believe other's words "You're the [best, fastest, strongest, smartest, etc]. "
You missed my point completely. "The education of professional pilots is as intense as a doctor's...education". It's not even close.
But who knows, for him it may have been the hardest thing he had ever done. People are people, you find jerks and geniuses in every field.
But I firmly believe that the average doctor has a far more difficult education than the average pilot, and that's the only point I am trying to make. Yes it is correct, if you don't believe me, reread my above post and follow the link.
