Thumbs up

I've seen a couple of sim techs hop into the sim & fly it "perfectly", inputting a set body angle and power setting and holding them, regardless of what the sim was doing at the time, so that it eventually reached the desired speed and attitude.
Nothing to it at all, and I guess that that is one of the secrets we pilots should be told as early on in our careers as possible - the "box" is NOT an aeroplane.

Having said that I wonder why more sim instructors and techs don't/can't make pilot?
I know what's involved and it ain't that difficult.
Obviously there's nothing much to it, and the demand NOW is only going to get greater.]
C'mon all of you guys who tell us how easy it is - right now is YOUR chance to qualify as a glorified 'bus driver, and to score one of the many jobs on offer.

You're already streets ahead with your obvious ability, d_k, come on up and join us
