I have no idea how he talks and didn't imply otherwise. My suggestion
was meant to be a serious one, in as much as he wants to be a
professional pilot. I don't think potential employers will be impressed
by chat room grammar, which seems to gradually become the standard for
all communication by some that use it. He entered a forum where
virtually nobody writes as he does; he may do the same on his written
resume someday. I've seen it happen. If he doesn't need the advice, he
can ignore it.
