I call bullshit on this. Yes, it's not that hard to fly a small general aviation plane, provided you have good conditions and nothing goes wrong. When you're flying a commercial jet and you lose your engines on takeoff over NYC, you better pray someone like Scully or lucrum is at the controls. Tom Wolfe called it "the right stuff". You either have it or you don't. Lucrum posted his pic a while back. You don't have to know anything about flying to know he's got it.
People die in hospitals all the time. That's a fact of life when people are sick and they go there. Nobody buys a plane ticket thinking they are going to die. Big difference RCG. Come on man. You can't even compare the two. That's like comparing people dying in a war with being a pilot. Again, we all expect people to die in wars, not on commercial aircraft and certainly not because of pilot error!
Any reason you didn't get a license? Who ever told you that probably didn't know how to drive a car. So could a monkey...but can they land it? Can they land it in a gusty wind at night with ice on the wings with mechanical failures? Heck no, but it is more difficult than driving a car...or taking someones BP and pulse. I didn't realize it was so obvious, hence the reason for the documentation request. Assuming of course you didn't just pull that statement out of your ass. Don't need to. While I would rather get kicked in the balls while having a root canal without anesthesia than have that fucking moron Dumbo in the WH another 4 years; I've conceded repeatedly for many months he has at least an even chance or better. Among other things, I'm a realist and pragmatist.
People don't die in planes much because they mainly fly themselves. Have you flown a plane Mav? Medicine has no such luxury. Diagnosis is as much an art as it is a science. Mav, do you have any college, bruh?
I concur. I think probably the best example of this is a Naval aviator. I would love to see RCG get into fighter weapons school. I think those guys are probably pound for pound, the highest caliber of human being on the planet. A few notches above a nurse. LOL.
Well, as I am not a commercial pilot, I cannot argue one way or the other. The right stuff is a lil over the top. That applies to combat. But of course all you right wingers are Top Guns aren't you
Huh? Drinking early tonight RCG? I know it's quiet out there in the burbs. Looks like you knocked a few back already. LOL.
Well I posted something just after you posted this, go ahead then Top Gun So Luke is now Top Gun, you guys are too funny
And now you're Dr. Welby? LOL. Come on man, you are the one that said flying was easy and we simply clarified the details on that a little. No need to get so defensive with all this "you right wingers" bullshit. I don't even know what politics has to do with flying. Maybe you have a clever retort for that as well.
