Time to stop flying?

Wonder = worry

If it's not Boeing, I'm not going.

Wonder away. At least they were honest enough to show it.

Maybe they're slowly getting away from the dishonesty that compelled them to
tamper with the black box at Habsheim.

The right wing ripped off it.

That's what happens when you use an Airbus letterhead.

Another one. You're getting good at this!

I pilot various aircraft in simulation.

That's a neat way of describing squeezing your joystick.

Wrong (again).

It is often a wonder why you are such a useless ****, but it
doesn't cause much worry.

If it's not Boeing, I'm not going.

If it's any airplane that actually flies in reality, you won't
be in it, numbnuts.

You currently context-snipping loser and idiot.

You're not a pilot, and you never will be a pilot, numbnuts.

Big simulator is it?

Hydraulic rams, a full simulation of the flight deck and an external
operator?

Or do you just play games on a PC?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

When was the last time you took a flight anywhere?

As you never ever fly anywhere, your statement is hardly worthy of
consideration. I fly often, both longhaul and shothaul, and am happy to fly
on Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Except that I would have serious reservations
about flying on an Airbus A300 operated by American Airlines.

stimulation would make more sense.

Are those who flew moon lander simulators astronauts?

It's probably closer than a computer 'simulation.'

As for Flight Stim, I think it's a bit like someone learning to play the
piano who has only ever played on a silent cardboard cutout of a
keyboard layout. Awctually, probably worse than that...
