Anthony doesn't know how to use a tape measure. MSFS doesn't have one.

The important point is that the knowledge gap between an average ATP
and an average non-pilot is far smaller than the gap between someone
with a PhD in chemistry and someone with no special knowledge of
chemistry.


Just like the knowledge gap between a cockroach and you, Anthony.

Interesting. As a PhD in chemistry myself I would estimate the
knowledge gap with someone with no special knowledge of chemistry to
be about 1000 feet. As a pilot , PPL only, I estimate the knowledge
gap between me and an average non pilot to be about 5000 feet. Now ,
I am not an ATP but I do know a couple, and one of them even talks to
me, as long there are no other ATPs around, and I estimate a gap of
at least 35000 feet between them and me. That would put the gap
between an ATP and an average non pilot at 40000 feet, so looks like
you are wrong again Maxie.
