The same is true if I can't get a word in edgewise. Both circumstances

Perhaps it would be best if you stayed out of the IFR system.


And perhaps it would be best if you took some sensitivity training or
maybe get an instrument rating and do a little IFR flying yourself,
and you might have a better appreciation for what it is he is talking
about.

Regarding McNicoll, and the old cliché about "Am I up here so you can be
down there, or are you down there so I can be up here?", McNicoll thinks
it's the former.
