"You don't have to have birthed the cow to be able to taste the milk." As a former pilot and now a passenger, I believe I can say that these berks who carry on as if only the man behind the controls has the right to make a comment about any subject in the realm of aviation are off base. If our pilots listened more to the people who pay the bills, then perhaps our colleagues around the world wouldn't be worrying about staff reductions and all the other problems the industry confronts. Like MIB, I fly more nowadays in business than I did when on service. The industry could learn a great deal from their frequent flyers. Pandora's comments should have been directed towards the topic in question and not to knock another non-pilot down. MIB wasn't commenting on the avionics, but a subject of relevance to him as a passenger on the flight.
