Default Re: Isolation diaries

A lot of those kinds of responses depend on the type of of plane they're flying, too.
Ask that question of a guy that flies the A320, or 747, and you'll get a different response than from the guy who flies a turbo-prop Island hopper, or a DC-9.
and a 747 at 1500 feat is barely off the ground. If something goes hinky for them at 1500 ft they are basically fucked.

Edit:
So my nephew and his buddy were sitting here on the porch with us, when I read Ari's post.
His buddy is one of the few non-former-Military commercial pilots. That was basically his response. For myself, I still ride with them commercial guys, but I'd just go with the GA response. "I'd like to think so"
