Yes, I know, I know. Flying is expensive. But is that a reason not to do it? I mean, it IS after all the hand flying skill deterioration that is widely critiqued in a number of threads. I would hope that those critiquing it at least lives up to their own expectations.

And, press the airlines! You are the reason the planes fly at all. Now you have two eerily similar tragedies to shove in the face of any beancounter.
In Sweden, unions would be the way to go forward with this. Unions are not evil monsters, not here anyway.

Home sim software is far from the real deal. Being a humble wheel-born driver I also know this. But as with all home sim things, the procedures are what you want. They don't change; buttons actions don't change.

BTW, would anyone here happen to know how many near misses of this sort that amounts to one tragedy?
