Eggzackery. This isn't that 'psycix' guy who always asks for pay and QOL anytime absolutely ANY company is mentioned. This is someone with a legit question, the same kind of things I wondered about as a student pilot.If you make fun of a rookie long enough, all you get is someone who is hesitent or even somewhat afraid to ask questions because of fear of ridicule. Having someone in the air who is afraid to address gaps in his knowledge, because some all-knowing 3500hr Yeager wannabe busted his balls, is much more dangerous than giving out super-classified, top secret Vs info on the whale.
You're right. I feel much more comfortable with this guy's legitimate questions and observations.Snakum said:Eggzackery.

Some of you jerk-@ffs are so jaded I wonder if you're not becoming a hazard in the air. Lighten the #%@^ up already!

If I've been using all these recourses at my disposal, is there any doubt that I'd have a decent chance of succeeding??? Airliners are complex, but when you don't have to take off and don't have to land, is it really that difficult to simply point a large Boeing in a desired direction???

Well, OK, I'll break out a scorecard and a sharpened #2 pencil then.Snakum said:I wasn't speaking to the question you quoted, rather to the question he asked in this thread.
Try to keep up ... m'kay?

............as if Vs on a forty year old airliner is a matter of national security, he could probably buy a POH for the whale on ebay
