Yed. Those who call him a troll are simply wrong. He's asking
reasonable, intelligent questions about how real airplanes work, are
equipped, etc.

There has been generally nothing wrong with the initial questions. The
problem occurs when he refuses to believe the answers.

And he does pose questions many doorknobs with licenses
should be thinking about.

That's the reason he arouses such intense hatred.

No, it's not. I have never seen anyone here be aroused to hatred by a
question that they should be thinking about. Rather, people are aroused to
hatred by his refusal to believe informed, experienced answers. It's fine
to be skeptical, but he makes the incorrect assumption that he already
*knows* the answer is wrong, and argues points inanely on that basis.

He's asking mostly
reasonable questions, and the people reading this realize (at some
level) that they should know the answers, and not only is it quite
common for them not to know the answers, quite often they haven't even
thought about the questions.

You are so far off base here, it's not even funny.
