Now that this thread has been moved to the SLF forum, I will say this in response to Piltdown:
Your attitude towards passengers disappoints me. You seem to hold them in very low esteem, and yes, some of them are guilty of meeting that particular standard, but by no means all.
Most people, I would guess, have little or no idea about how an aircraft even manages to get off the ground, never mind stay in the air with no obvious means of support. This does not mean they are ignorant, stupid and generally given to over-reacting.
Now while I have the very greatest respect for your professionalism and skill - things which in fact are demonstrated regularly here on PPrune, as well as in the air of course - I'm disappointed that you don't seem to have even a small understanding of other peoples' state of mind when they are necessarily depending on those skills that you have.
