It would be nice to "fly" (read manage the systems) those big jets - Let's see now.... I could call for a snack and cup of coffee when needed, get up and go to the bathroom when needed, have a dispatcher do my W&B, file the flight plan and get a weather briefing. Hmmm.... Also, the co-manager can take a leg, call out speeds and altitudes, talk to ATC, run the check lists, turn on auto land, program the A/P, and, unlike the engines, continue to whine after shutdown. Come to think of it, I like GA. I can go IF I want, generally where and when I want, carry a gun in the cockpit, personally check the passenger for terrorist leanings, tell ATC "forgetaboutit, I'll go VFR", do my own push-back, carry hazardous materials (aerosol window polish) and keep my nail file. I guess I can accomplish most all those tasks in the prior paragraph myself - that includes whining after shutdown. ;-) Scott Krueger Sky2high@aol.com LNC2 N92EX IO320 Aurora, IL (KARR) --part1_1c8.71583f9.2baddb4e_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable In a message dated 3/22/2003 7:14:32 AM Central Standa= rd Time, ted@vineyard.net writes:
