Easy

Bit of thread drift here, but the other thing that I was reminded by thinking about keys(!) and big jets, was how easy the 777 sim was to fly.
Very docile big jet... instructor pulls one engine out on takeoff... slight yaw and then it just keeps climbing. All done automatically.
Very easy to land... yes, even with a nasty crosswind dialed in.
Sitting right up the sharp end it just wraps around you like a car.
Easy to forget about the 300+ souls and laaaarge amount of airliner behind you.
Now that's bound to get a few bites from grey-haired people with gold rings on their sleeves!!!
