It's no more a game than any other simulator, and some of the people flying
you from place to place have learned with those "games" (and more will do so
in the future).


You think your $69.95 copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator is exactly the
same as the $5 million sim at Flight Safety? Geez, you're even vainer
than I thought, and that's saying something.

Here at WeSellCellPhones, I was pleased to hear that they believe in
"work-life balance." What it turned out this actually means is that your work
is your life, and is by definition balanced... -- JDF

I've been flying with google earth's flight simulation add-on. I feel
almost qualified already!

No, but it's a good simulator. In fact, it's better than some older
simulators that _used_ to cost $5 million.
