What do you think of this kind of Pilot?
One of my supervisors at work is a Microsoft Flight Sim pilot. He thinks he can fly any kind of airplane in real life if he has flown it in the sim!
Please tell me this is not true...I work at Heathrow and we deal pilots allot. Everytime he sees a pilot he starts talking "professionally" like how he flew to Hong Kong, the weather was terrible or they had to change plan. The pilots do get impressed at the begining, but when they find out that all of his experiences were gained in the Sim, they just walk-off or try to end the conversation. But this doesnt put him off at all. He says he has been flying the simulator for the last 8years. He also does 'real time' flying. 8 hrs, 10hrs even 12hrs at times sitting in front of a computer.
So what do you think of a person like this?
Have you had any experience of someone showing great interest in Sims?
