OK. Amazing how he knows how all those airplanes fly for a fact, eh?

What kind of asshole spends more on sim toys than an airplane would
cost?

We have one of these guys at work. He has spent, to date, over 50
grand
on a 767 sim in his garage. He once compared it to my building an
airplane defying me to point out any real difference between the
projects.

This is too easy. A real airplane can physically transport you to
distant places. A simulator can not.

The idiocy of the statement just left everyone in the crewroom
speechless. Interstingly, when this guy is relatively sharp in the
airplane, but when he makes a big mistake, he's absolutely
flabbergasted. so much so that he loses the plot. He's done it a couple
of times flying with me. Worse still, he has aspirations of becoming a
check airman! Problem is, he probably will and I can't think of anyone
less suitable. If he was fatter and never left the house he could be
Anthony!
