Wow. I am speechless. You would rather have a human thing ****ed off
at you for failing to give him/her attention than give up your "flight
time".

Correct.


God I love usent.

What do I care? Read-and-parse. English 1. I said to use the FMC

guide it under IFR for all I care, unless you are worried about a
simulated FSDO appearing on your doorstep) for a long flight (.
Imagine the distractor is a stewardess and you want to join the
simulated mile high club (hmmmmm...interesting fantasy in there
somewhere...). (obvious ad hominem) However, in your case you don't
even need to use the FMC or have a long flight; you'd be finished
with any distraction before tower handed you off to departure after
takeoff.

It is never acceptable to divert one's attention from the flying task.
There must always be a human being watching the aircraft, if the
aircraft is designed for human pilots.



Wrong again.

There's no FMC in the Baron, and I normally don't fly VFR in the big
iron.



Big Iron?

You don't fly anything ever, fjukktard#



BTW: MY significant other gets royally PO'd if I am not significantly
distracted enough when I am WORKING at home, let alone playing a
stupid flight simulator.

If you actually fly that way, perhaps your epitaph could say "He was
distracted."


All pilots get distracted, fjukkwit.


Name of the game is to not allow it to kill you.


Real pilots know **** like that, ya see.

If you're IMC, you won't be maintaining separation with
anything, because there isn't anything for you to see. ATC will be
responsible for the separation.

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


No, actually, you don't.


Fjukkwit.




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.

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.

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.



You have no idea what safety is, You don't fly.

Your semantics is horrible.

Is they really?

Yet you imply that he could be faking it.

Of course; he _could_ be. That doesn't mean that he is.

I was simply implying that men are not always as interested in sex as
they pretend to be. Sometimes men simulate to please women, or to
prove to their peers that they are virile and heterosexual.

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

I am very difficult to impossible to distract with mere pretty faces
or bodies.


Obviously. It's one of the obvious signs of autism..

Since you have stated you have no interest in sex, and no interest in
real flying, on what do you base this statement?

Simulator flight.


That's not flight, fjukkwit


And I'm not completely uninterested in real flight,
it just isn't a viable option at this time.

Nor will it ever be.

For what it's worth, I've been known to distract my husband. Why,
once or twice he actually engaged the autopilot. (The safety minded
among you will be happy to know it was in IMC, there was no
opportunity to be looking for other traffic.)

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


How would you know, fjukkwit?@

Strip joints contain real people and social interaction, neither of

Pilots, obviously.

That gets me wondering how many pilots are actually at the strip club by DTW
(appropriately named 'Flight Club') lol

Why do you think those things are always near an airport?


One of our guys got tossed out of the Pink Pussycat in MIA for lewd
behavior. Limbo under that one!

There's a Deja Vu in San Diego that's pretty close to SAN (IIRC there's a
Dirty Dan's that is/was closer). But it (the Deja Vu) is *much* closer
(practically across the street from) MCRD and the (now closed) NTC. Nothing
like "reminding em what they are fighting for," eh?

OK enough noise about strip clubs. But...hmmmm....that could be an
interesting Social Ecology study, wouldn't it? (I mean an examination of the
demographics of the patrons of strip clubs within - say - a couple miles of
an airport. Well, at least the data gathering could be ALOT of fun g
