Sometimes us simple little spam can drivers have an advantage over you sophisticated heavy guys. I surely recognise your skills and knowledge but sometimes all that complication and the multi, multi event possibilities seem just to get in the way.

What frightens me is not losing my life in some sudden aviation event, for that I value the odds and how well you all do your jobs day to day, a remarkable achievement in itself, but sitting in the back next to my loved ones with the nose up and the wings sawing side to side for three minutes and wondering why the pilot doesn't push the nose down.

I have flown a lot since this crash but I don't have the comfort in doing it that I used to. Strangely it is worse on longer, 'heavy' flights too.
