Jay,
It has happened to me a couple of times. I have not seen any of them in
a long time.
Having hours and confidence does help knowing I can take the controls if

I had it happen earlier this year, for the first time, ever, and it felt,

Never heard that voice before.

She said "knowing I can *take* the controls." She didn't say anything about the
other guy giving them up willingly. (It's amazing what a #2 knitting needle can
do.) :-)
