That's why I said "you need to be on the radio to maintain separation with
ATC."


Your semantics is horrible. You won't be maintaining separation
with ATC or any other plane in IMC. It is *ATC's* responsibility for
that in IMC. Otherwise, the pilot would use *visual* separation, which
wouldn't be the case in IMC, and as the poster had mentioned, was in
clouds.

Plus, ATC is on the ground, so you would always be and
maintaining separation from them.

Thank the gods. But she has a point. If you're going to be that
attuned to a game over your significant other, you have some serious
social problems.


I don't have a significant other, so the issue does not arise.


It shows.

You don't know about their lives together to be able to come to
the assumption that he is doing so.


I haven't assumed that he is doing so; but neither do I take for granted that
he is not.


Yet you imply that he could be faking it. Bit of hypocrisy
there. But I digress; I remember who I am responding to.

I honestly don't think you could handle a relationship.


I don't know. But since I'm not interested in one, it doesn't matter. I
doubt that I could handle skiing or scuba diving, either, but I'm not
interested in those, so it doesn't matter.

Yes, you are interested in aviation, but once again, with the attitude you
have and the misguided assumptions you have about things in aviation,
You either a) have a long way to go and a lot to unlearn before you can
even learn anything in aviation, or b) you couldn't handle aviation.


With a girl in a bikini in the right seat, you'd be far better off with me in
the left seat than with some of the macho men here. It amazes me that
so-called pilots are so quick to compromise safety.


Do us a favour. Fly Hooters Air and let's see how you fare.

You have no idea what's involved in flying a real airplane, let alone the
work load involved in the task.

Stick with playing your game, or go get a real life.

Traffic doesn't go away just because you cannot see it. IMC is a bad time to
be distracted.


Clueless idiot.
