I figure I have about 10 years to conquer the major airline captain thing and want to get started.
I'll make it easy for you and answer your questions.
1. NO. 2. YES. 3. NO. 4. YES. 5. NO.
Personally I don't think anybody, especially a doctor, is really that ignorant. However, this thread has been worth it for the entertainment value. Keep looking for that new challenge.
