You sound like the muttering, festering type who resents anyone whose hands aren't dirty or because they finished high school and/or went to uni but you didn't - "fancy candy-ass College boy......!"
Hey scrubed,
Indeed, I actually did finish high school, with honours I might add.Just quietly,I'm an Avionis Lame and don't get my hands dirty too often.Thought since you are getting so personally offensive,I would point out a few things.All those instruments and gadgets you (merely) read,I actually Know not (just) how to read them as you do,but I actually know how they all work internally as well
.Don't forget,when something goes wrong up there with you blokes,you only know how to go thru a checklist pre-prepared for you,by people who by and large, know that you probably can't be trusted to use your own judgement to fix said problem.
Incidentally scrubed,if you would like to know what we are tinkering with as you point out,try reading the tech log.
Wanty.
