Yes, they do.Do they? It is second hand, they didn't actually do it at the level they are speaking on.
If I study from 12 years old to 40,10 hours a day every day on how to fly planes bit never actually fly a plane are you going to trust me more than an actual pilot with less than half the flight experience I spent studying flying to fly your plane?
So as I said, nobody should have an opinion on anything then. I hope to never see you criticizing anyone in a field you don't make a living in.
