Firstly, in any emergency that hasnt been drilled, you will have a
moment where you will be sitting there with your mouth open in utter
disbelief of what has just happened. in fact, even if you have

drilled
for it you will still have this moment, but if it's been practiced

the
moment you begine to do something about it will be sooner coming.
While you're sitting there wondering what's going on, the speed will

be
bleeding off. Not good.


Nothing you do is useful. You very rarely even come up with a good
idea, and when the blind squirrel principal does kick in

(astoundingly,
you've seem to even defeat random chance with your incompetence), you
manage to cock it up so badly that what might have been a useful thing
in a normal person's hands turns to low-grade fertilizer.

Those are your two claims to fame. Being a complete flake who can't
keep even the simplest of things on track for any significant period

of
time, and being an absolute moron when it comes to understanding

what's
useful to the piloting community, and implementing it.


Uh, yeh, sure..
