I would much rather have a guy who has a handle on Class B radio communications and how to fly an ILS then somebody who can explain to be when the B Pumps are on and why and when the ILS 2 Engine profile says to slow to 180 and go flaps 8. That sort of stuff is pretty useless when they have screwed up vectors to final and you are joining above the glideslope just inside the marker and there is an (early model) Citation 3 miles ahead of you on the approach.
I agree with you as well. I understand what you mean. I was lucky enough to do all of my training and 90% of my flying in a busy class B/C area, and when I fly with someone who hasn't got that experience, it is FRUSTRATING!

By the way, I was looking at your website/blog. I like it, It's pretty cool. Looks like you put a lot of time and effort into it. If you don't mind me asking, what does it cost to keep it going?
