RE: plane pilot vs CCIE

I am a Comm/Multi/IF rated pilot. The theory for the Comm exams was the
biggest part of obtaining my Comm licence. It is difficult but just like
the CCIE if you know your stuff you will be fine.

The hardest flying part was the Instrument rating, think about doing a a
360 degree turn while climbing 2000 feet in exactly 2 mins.

But like Scott says they are 2 completely different things.

If you screw up the CCIE lab, you can't possibly die. So I'd think that
inherently makes piloting harder. Or at least the stakes harder. But
otherwse it's two completely different things, and depends on how many
ratings you get as a pilot.

Your basic pilot's license isn't all that dificult IMHO. But when you
work
for your instrument rating, there's significantly more work involved.
Getting your commercial license can be more. Multi-engine, etc, etc.
Depends on where you want to go with it all!

It's fun though!

Studing all 4 ccie's (RS/Voice/SEcurity/SP) vs learning how to fly the
plane

Does any body on this list have done both - e.g. has flown the
commercials/private jet/plane and also done CCIE?

Which one is harder?

[I know you can't compare apple to orange but just an idea and just
being
curious]
