That's good because as a helo driver with no significant multi-engine fixed-wing time, you're not getting there anyway.
You made it as an NFO, right? Now, I'm sure you did a lot to set yourself up for it, but it does go to show that it can be done.
I don't care who's got the bigger "show." I just want to make a living doing what I enjoy and do pretty well.
I think the AD pilots are sick of being told that what they're doing doesn't compare to this "show" at the airlines.
Me, I'm proud of what I'm doing now. To be honest, I think that I'd have a better chance flying an airliner than the airline pilot flying onto a ship or into a dusty LZ.
However, that doesn't mean I am not interested in someday doing that job. If I do get that chance, though, I'm not going to look at my AD time as my time on some farm team; it will have been the place where I learned the skills that will hopefully have set me up for a productive second career. I'll be equally proud of my time doing both things.
