Well said. I just think that it is sad that so many people never really learn to fly an airplane. My skills have diminished, I'm sure. But you are right, one does not need much, if any, skill to drive one of these rigs. You would think from most rj drivers egos, however, that they believe it takes a whole lot of skill.
