Jump to postI love watching 19 year old flightsim experts refute the facts when they are presented to them on a silver platter. Not only can they land a 747 better than the carrier's most senior and skilled pilot, but the can also do a better job as CEO.
Jump to postWhile I'm not religious in any sense of the word, don't you all think you're overreacting just a little bit? It's a good thing the flight wasn't out of Massachusetts or you all would have shipped her to Salem and burned her at the stake! <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/g...
