...what about including reading and writing in those "superior" skills of yours.
I feel hesitant about rising to the bait of childish comments on a technical subject, but; my skills are NOT 'superior' they are what have been considered the standard norm for 40 years. I don't put them to use any more, but often I and my fellow aviators did on a regular basis. If you didn't have then you could not do the job properly. Times & attitudes have changed, but not necessarily for the better.
And there I leave it.
