OK, pilots. How many of you would wait an hour for a sim program to
allow you to roll back, or taxi out, or whatever?

I did have fun at Logan once, a little M20J merged into a row of jets,
waiting for take off (BOS was the most convenient place to clear
customs coming in from Canada) but it was late at night. Hint to real
pilots -- even after waiting for wake turb to fade, do request a turn
into the crosswind as early as you can.

Of course, in my case, it's simulation, so we do have more flexibility
to ask questions if we don't understand--learning is part of the
experience for most users. But the busy factor still kicks in when
the virtual skies are crowded (last night I spent an hour on the
ground in Boston waiting to start my flight and the chatter was
constant).
