That is really funny. "I, having simulated being a neurosurgeon, am

See the difference?


No.


A valid analogy defeats you? I suspect you do not do well on tests.

I would point out controllers get a large number of airplanes to land

airplanes safely.


Before they did that, some pilots never got the opportunity to land.

Seventy years ago, just flying into clouds could spell the end of a commercial
flight.


What part of "so pilots can land the planes safely" did you not
understand? Reading comprehension problems too? You'd be an
interesting case study for one of my undergrad students who is trying
to find her way through the DSM.

You've played a game and claim it's more than that.


It's a simulation, not a game. Games have objectives, and prizes, and
arbitrary rules.


Utter, babbling nonsense.

The vast majority of games that are played by normal people (not on TV
or in casinos) have no prizes.

MSFS has objectives and arbitrary rules.

All of life has arbitrary rules.

For which airline?


There you go, trying to change the subject again because you are in a hole
and can't get out.

The subject was how long does it take to contact people, even when the
people are SUPPOSED to be available and reachable; airlines have nothing
to do with the subject.

I think it would take you much more, because of your attitude
problems.


Attitude is not a problem for me, and typically I do reasonably well at
training of this kind.

Why do you talk to pilots?


I'm interested in aviation.

I thought that was a waste of time. . .


Not if they are good pilots.

"I'm qualified to psychologically assess the characteristics of unsafe pilots"


Actually, I just repeat the assessments of people who are indeed qualified to
make them. These people have identified personality characteristics that
correlate highly with unsafe flying.
