These people are stupid! I mean basic geography like 'is that the Atlantic Ocean?' when your departing Chicago? or"is that Nebraska? look for the one grain elevator.' I mean really! Most people are really so uninformed its amazing they get by. I have heard that 10% of this country,s population are the producers and the rest basically feed off of this 10%. I believe it!I won't bother reading all these pages, but I know where this is going and what your intent is. I find it fascinating when pilots tend to 'put down' non-pilots. Lot of what we know, and consider, routine is something absolutely NEW to a non-pilot.
For instance, in a recent conversation with new college-graduate, I discovered that he thought that Ramp Agents who marshal aircraft in to gates are part of Air Traffic Control. Others thought that the Tower controls all traffic in the US, and most passengers think that Flight Attendants are there to provide food and drinks ONLY.
Doesn’t mean that these people are stupid. But your questions is implying the same and soliciting response to that effect.
I’m sure somewhere on the net there's a thread on a Surgeon/Physicians board with a question: What's the dumbest question you've been asked BY a pilot?
