It's not really based on Flight Simulator. It's based on a common
complaint I've heard from people who are contemplating a real pilot's
license.

Your statements cannot possibly be coming from people who have actual
information. I'm not going to waste time debating them with you, since I
don't really give a crap what you think. But you should not fool yourself
into thinking you have a clue about these things.

Obviously, a lot of people fly. 600,000+ in the US alone. Most people who
fly are NOT wealthy, nor are they particularly insensitive to risk. It's
quite alright for you to not be cut out for flying real airplanes, but it's
insulting and ignorant for you to go around implying that there's something
about *flying* that makes it hard or impossible for a normal person. The
reason flying isn't for you is firmly seated in your OWN personal
characteristics, not in something about flying itself.

You would do well to leave your personal attacks behind, and restrict
yourself to answering questions. There are plenty of people who
specialize in the former, and very few qualified to handle the latter.

You've got a pretty thin skin if you think I'm engaging in personal attacks.
I'm offering you useful advice. Take it or leave it.
