All I asked was a straight answer. Still didn't get it. Ever thought about going into politics? You would be ideal for the house.

I don't try and dictate to anyone. However I will add that a lot of my early career involved operations, some it from "banana" shaped strips, both vertically and horizontally. So been there, done that and what I am trying to convey it just ain't worth it. Experience teaches you that as you only get away with it so long. I was very young and yes stupid. I am no ace and don't want to be either as "good pilots tend to get themselves killed", one way or another and unfortunately the grave yards are full of them. Was I lucky? Extremely. I retired from that sort of non passenger flying at 30, after 10 years. Flown medium and heavy a/c since, so I do feel I have the background to pass comment but not to dictate.
