So a simmer is unqualified to discuss flying, but a pilot is qualified to
diagnose psychological disorders? Explain the seeming contradiction here.

As for aeronautical considerations - he would do as well to get into long-range
weather forecasting.


There are a lot of people predicting the weather 100 years from now who are no
more qualified to do so than I am.

Didn't catch the contradiction here. . .


I didn't expect that you would; had you seen the contradiction, you would not
have made the original post.

I didn't realize there wer "a lot" of such wizards, but I guess I'm not
surprised.


Wherever there is grant money, there are "wizards."

Default Sad day for Mxsmanic

I was an arrogant son-of-a-bitch before I learned to fly.
That's many years ago now, but I recall watching all those guys and gals in
their 172's thinking I'd be into a KingAir before they even got certificated.
Guess what happened instead - I actually learned something! First thing I
learned was how much I didn't know. You are light-years away from that and
moving at lightspeed toward the dark end. That would be a great new pseudo for
you by the way "LightSpeedToward Darkness". Can we get that enacted right
away?

More on what I learned - the immense satisfaction of mastering the thing -
never master, but every day less and less a slave. Far too humbling a
satisfaction for the likes of you to assimilate. Of course I never came
anywhere near your abyss of pride and ignorance. Perhaps you really are at
lightspeed and there is no recovery possible.

Today I still don't have my KingAir, but I have a 182T and I'm just enthralled
at what a capable airplane it is! I hate to gloat about it, but I'm really
happy not to be in the deep rut you're in. You know you're in deep trouble.
Find professional help.

Learning to fly would not necessarily aggravate that characteristic, although
people with such personalities tend to become unsafe pilots.

The very voice of experience!


Mostly research rather than experience.

If you're so keenly interested in aviation, take some flight
lessons, for God's sake.


That isn't practical at the moment.

Today you sit around in a French café with your pals telling them you
would be perfectly able to land an airliner and that you know more about
aviation than most pilots.


I don't go to cafés, and I don't have pals.

If you take some lessons, by the time you solo in the lowly
Champ or C152 (and you will get there) you will have, if nothing
else, dispelled the notion that you would be capable of landing
an airliner!


Since these are not airliners, flying in them would tell me nothing about my
ability or inability to land an airliner.

We all have experience with you.

weather forecasting.

That because you are both simply guessing, and both capable of believing
anything you imagine.

You've never flown so have no knowledge of flying.


I've flown in simulation, which is very close to flying in real life, and I've
studied a lot, so I know quite a bit about flying.

Everyone who reads your posts is exposed to a psychological
disorder.


Even if that were true, it would not qualify them to diagnose it.

If using a simulator doesn't qualify one to fly for real, then it can only be
more true that not having any exposure to psychology would guarantee that a
person could not diagnose psychological disorders.

Liar, you have no clue about real life.

Even if that were true, it would not qualify them to diagnose it.

That would only make sense to someone with your illness.
