Default Dr.Curtiss runs out of his medicine

Hi folx,

Here we go again... now it's ostensibly one of "us" selling his soul
to the boulevard press devil for a few greenbacks...

"How Hard Is It to Fly a 757 or 767?"
http://airsafe.com/journal/v1num16.htm

It's an exciting reading... the guy is in "unique position to answer
that question", after 100hrs in C172 and 5-6 hrs in a 757 sim...

100-hr pilots, rejoice, flying big iron has never been easier... to
quote:
"In short, I believe that any person who has earned a private pilot's
license and who has access to the same kind of ground school and
simulator training that I received could fly a 757 or 767 well enough
to hit a large building."
Dr.Curtiss is surely doing fine... we'll keep you posted of his
progress...

And, the dramatic conclusion: "Given the wide availability of this
kind of training, it would appear that the kind of terrorist actions
that took place in New York and Washington could easily be repeated in
the future."

I guess as soon Dr.Curtiss picks up his 757 at Wal-Mart...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
-Toly.
