Do you actually believe that you are controlling a whole lot of people that are ¨retarded¨?
Framer, I work in the same region as Plaz (it's nowhere near oz), and believe me, if you were to sit with one of us for a shift, you would be scratching your head.
As for the rest of the thread; I feel that some responses were directed toward the Artificial Horizon-types. As you see, we sometimes deal with a level of condescension in our profession, which can grate when you see the standard of individuals employed as pilots in some parts of the world.
Thanks for your questions, and glad that they were answered (eventually).
