Tourist, flight simulator doesn't count as flying!
All this talk of the "old days", wake up, just hazard a guess at the increase in passenger numbers between this rosy time you speak of and today.
I will do it for you, in 1970 Gatwick had 5 million pax pass through and in 2010 there were over 31 million. Heathrow 1960 14 million/year and 2010 67 million. I wonder what could possibly be the reason for there being more pilots!!!
