BHR; "I'm not anti-pilot...I am simply sick to the back teeth of the egotistical behavour of pilots"
Run that by me again, Pilgrim, I think I detect a flaw in your arguement but slowly, because being a pilot I'm preoccupied with my divine rights at the moment.
Your choice of Stephen Hawking and A G Bell is significant; one's in a wheelchair and one's dead. Pilots can do that to people unless they are highly trained and dedicated to flight safety.
