Recently learned that 50% of men surveyed believe they could land a commercial aircraft in an emergency, and knowing this has helped me understand a lot of the emails I get at work.
@MostlyHarmless When I took a flying class, I crashed the simulator 11 times before I finally landed it on a nearby pasture. Surprised those cows! My instructor called it good and said that everyone walked away. The first time I flew an actual plane, I panicked as it started to slowly descend into Lake Michigan while the actual pilot sat there amused. So, I'm not likely going to be the one landing a commercial airplane.
