Jay, If "Bertie" isn't a pilot, he's doing one hell of a job faking it.

Agreed. However, every now and then he drops clear hints of his real
situation -- like the comment about using flight service.

Real pilots know how utterly useless an in-air weather briefing can be on
a long cross-country flight, when FSS starts blathering on about "strong
thunderstorms located 56 miles on the 223 radial from Clusterfunk VOR" --
as you're frantically trying to find "Clusterfunk" on one of your
sectional maps that are strewn around the cockpit. And that's the
best-case scenario -- often you can't even get through to them.

Compare this with the incredible utility of having Nexrad radar, with a
satellite overlay, displaying "live" (well, okay, 4 to 9 minutes old) in
the cockpit, showing you precisely what the weather is doing ahead, and
it's easy to spot a pretender.

Only someone who has never actually walked the walk would talk such
nonsense.

Yep! He steps on his ****** all the time. Just no one wants to call bull****
on him, for fear he will dedicate the rest of his (tiny) life to ****ing on
every thread the start, or attempt to join.
