Quote from RCG Trader:
More importantly is that you assert some gap in getting a commercial license for a pilot and actually being one. In allied health, if you can actually get the license, then you are the real deal.
I think this is the crux of the argument.
Because there is one! Ron, listen to me man. Getting a license is meaningless. It's a regulatory issue. Becoming a proficient commercial pilot is something else. Seriously, I am blown away that this concept is so hard to understand.
