Airwork: Do as I Say, Not as I Do

摘要

I was lucky. Unlike most flight stu-dents, I had the same flight instructor not only for my primary training but for most of my other ratings as well. It's a situation, I've since learned, that's highly unusual. But my instructor, Jack Secor, had no aspirations to become an airline pilot; he was content to be a professional instructor. It was my good fortune. I've railed against the fact that flight instruction is not a reasonable career choice, that what is arguably the most important and influential position in the aviation industry doesn't provide the compensation that would make it an end in itself. But, unfortunately, that's not going to change.
