In summary, out of 2,291 professional pilots who expressed an opinion, 81.4% believed that the pilot was acting dangerously and 18.6% didn't.
Sorry but with MY ALL KIND RESPECT I CANNOT AGREE NOR UNDERSTAND a single piece of what you wrote....!!!!!
How can you be so sure that among those 2291 Professional Pilots they are indeed Professional pilots and not any single Aviation Amateur, a Typical Net Foruns Surfer or any also other kind of Simulator "Crazy" Kid, behind the common mask of Internet/PC Chair...!!????
For sure at least 2290 were Prof. Pilots, cause one of them its my Lovely 12 Years Old Niece who joined this Board stating in her profile that she is a 744 Captain...
But we are positively sure that all the others are not lying....aren't we..??
Kisses to Everyone here...
