Quite the contrary, when the "messenger" is demonstrably unqualified, such an

The message is either correct, or it isn't, irrespective of its source. If my
message is incorrect, then correct it. And if it is correct, well, it stays
that way whether it came from me or a 25,000-hour ATP, doesn't it?

You do not.

You haven't answered my question: What's wrong with V66?

Flown this route "thousands of times" in simulation? Really?

Yes, really. I have thousands of hours of simulation time. The route in
question is one of my favorites, for reasons I have already explained.

You must have a lot of time on your hands.

The spare time I have is mostly spent on simulation.

After the 1656th time flying this desolate route, what did you learn?

Nothing. It doesn't take long to learn everything about it.

Especially considering that not even once did you dare to
ask for a different routing...

I'm not into daring things. I'm into safety and simplicity. The airway is
there for me to use. The government spent a lot of time and effort working it
out, and it works very well. So I use it. Why _shouldn't_ I use it?

I would not presume to make recommendations for other parts of the U.S. with
which I'm not familiar,

Not true, you would and routinely do make comments and recommendations about
any and every subject you know nothing about.

Read what I wrote. I specifically said that I would not make recommendations
for other parts of the U.S. (with respect to routing). I didn't say anything
about any other subject.

Incidentally, you appear to be unaware of the fact that Victor Airways are not
only mot mandatory, but actually obsolescent, and will not be with us that
much longer after Next-Gen and ADS-B.

They are on the charts and they are current. NextGen is mostly smoke and
mirrors, no matter what the FAA's flashy media kits say. ADS-B will not change
this. As long as the airways are on the charts, I'll continue to use them. You
can do what you want. But if you have a problem with this airway, at least
explain why--thousands of pilots who obstinately continue to use the airway
could benefit from your wisdom.
