Well, I simulated it.

I hate to be the one to break this to you kid (and I say this with a
certain irony because I know I'm not the first person to tell you this)
but your sim is not an accurate model of reality.

575 hours of flying real airplanes.

How much time have you spent with a simulator?

What difference does that make? This is not rec.aviation.simulators.
Context, son! Why so you have so much trouble with context?

Lousy excuse. You can fly round trip from Paris to LA for less than
$650.

That's a month's net pay, if things go well.

Really? That surprises me. You're obviously a bright person, and you
live in a modern industrialized country where the average annual income
is well over $20,000. And yet you make less than $8,000 a year? Even
more surprising, although your income places well below the poverty
level, you can still afford a computer, a flight simulator setup with
rudder pedals, internet access, and a whole lot of spare time to post to
newsgroups and play with your sim?

It's hard for me to believe that you couldn't scrape together $650
somehow. Take half the hours you spend on usenet and your sim and go
work at a McDonald's and you'll have $650 saved before you know it.
I'll wait.
