Thanks! The explanation of Concorde operations is particularly interesting.
I guess there are more airline pilots on the sim groups. I can see why
tin-can pilots wouldn't know anything about step climbs.

Oh God...I can see it now...This is the beginning of my nightma

It is midsummer. I'm departing KLAX on a fully loaded 747 at 1800 PDT
for an evening flight into KSTL There are thunderstorms popping up
along the route. Then, the problem: both pilots are stricken with food
poisoning (hey! it's my nightmare). A frantic call goes out from the
head flight attendant---Is there a pilot on board!!! There are only
two: a GA pilot who has logged 300 hours total, 120 IFR in a C182 and
a student pilot who just had his first solo flight last week in an old
Cherokee. Then...this humoron stands up and says: "I've flown 100
hours in a 747 simluator". So...who gets to sit in the left seat in a
desparate gamble to save all their lives? I know who my choice would
be, and I know who I would not choose.
