I see your point Mr Horgy...
But just being negative and a tad realistic,pointing you out to sea and letting you run out of fuel makes less mess.
I have been lucky enough to fly a 737 sim and if I do say myself with pride, managed an ILS into Manchester,perfect glideslope until about 10 feet and LOC was 2/3 deg from center, I do have a PPL so there was a little prior knowledge.
It is still an emotive and thought provoking thread and there are many people sitting reading this and wishing that the next time they fly a hostie is going to come out of the flight deck screaming the immortal words " can anybody fly a plane "
