Do I think either of them could do it for real just because they did it
in
the office on the sim - nope, not a chance. What does this tell me? -

because you can do it in the sim doesn't mean you can do it when it
counts.

No, it just tells you that you don't believe they could do it for
real. Without actually trying it, you'll never know.

Would you care to sit in the back seat when someone tries this?

Do a search of the NTSB records and see how many "continued VFR" type
accidents you can find.

There's a good chance that they could do it for real, depending on
their personalities.

Preposterous.

The sim has its place for sure, but it will never replace actual
experience.

Saying that over and over doesn't make it true.

Obviously nothing, including facts and real world evidence will suffice to
convince you.

That was you. But not everyone is like you.

Yes, that is true.

No. But until you do it, you're poorly placed to make any
pronouncements about it.

That's what simulators are all about. What good is practicing a
procedure if you die in the process?

Facts and real-world evidence are persuasive. Emotional outbursts,
repetition, and personal attacks are not.

Coming from you that is a pretty funny statement.

Hey, it's been fun but now this is way past tedious so au revoir.
