You fly one of the most automated planes of all. I am proud of you that occasionally you do a non-precision approach and have to land in cross winds!! In the near future people will be asking you what it was like.

He has spoken! Everybody fold up their tents and go home. You there! In the back row! SkyLow has spoken and we all need to give it up and go home. Ya, even you ignorant FedEx guys. You're all a bunch of jerks (despite the fact that he doesn't know any of you personally, professionally, biblically or otherwise) who obviously don't know how to fly (glass, ya know) so get those tents folded up and get the hell out of here. Ya, ya, I know he isn't a professional pilot anymore, but he has spoken! What's that? He never made beyond a regional or LLC airline? Irrelevant!! He knows it all. He has vast pools of experience wishing and imagining what it would be like to be a real airline pilot. And, you're not listening, he has spoken.
Yes, he has spoken, therefore it must be.
As my daughter-in-law would say, JESUS CHRISTO!
