<100hr Pilot- A rant

YES I am a new pilot! I'm proud of it!

I've read all the statistics about the 100 hour kill zone and I know what the insurance companies say, but I'm getting a bit ticked off by the arrogance of higher time pilots who've forgotten that they were once new(and who've NEVER flown with me) judging me by my logbook.

Yes, I know that's the reality of it and that I have to humble myself, but I believe in the quality of my primary training. I believe that I am a safe and prudent pilot and that I have the personal maturity to know when I am outside of my personal envelope. I am well-over 21!!! I accept constructive criticism well and believe that my personal standards are higher than many CFIs.

I am resolved to not be the statistic. I resolve to fly the banner for other <100hr pilots and earn my credibility as an aviator a tenth of an hour at a time.

Thank you for reading these few words.
