^ didn't they teach you bitch slapping in flight school?

 

More bus drivers die. The roads have tons of dangers too, not to mention the fact that they dont have copilots and ATC people helping them along the way. It is just elitism. I am not saying anything is wrong with either job, but most are wrapped up in the aura of it. Most people forget the nuts and bolts of it. I am just passing along what I learned from talking to people in the job.

 

haha, yea, you talk with those in the job, I do the job daily, when there is a problem with a bus, you pull over, when one of our Rolls-Royce engines goes BOOM on Takeoff, there is NO MARGIN for error, we fuc-k up we kill a lot of people...........

Look I understand what you are saying, its a job and it is but flying an airplane has more risk then driving a bus, its not an opinion, its a fact.

"its just elitism" <----------- you lost all credibility with that statement

 

Aerospace engineering is a tough major, i hope you guys know what you are getting into. I had enough trouble with thermo.

 

Oh excuse me, your job is just so god damn intense. My grandfather was a pilot and my uncle was a controller.

 

I dont think anyone in this thread is appreciating your comments. It was made to help people learn more about it to see if they want to do it themselves, not criticize it. If you want an argument, please go elsewhere because comments like that aren't helping anyone.

 

agreed

 

so, how about now, you still think Airline Pilots are glorified Bus drivers.......... , I bet I can gather 155 people who beg to differ

 

I think every passenger on that plane should consider giving the pilot something of aprreciation for saving their life. Whatever it may be - each and every person on that aircraft owes their life to Scully. What a tremendous pilot!! That, my friends, is sheer courage, skill, fast thinking, training gone right, and determination. This man is a true hero! give it up!!

 

And I think his name was sully, not scully But ya, this pilot sure knew his stuff!
