Oh, actual flying, my current airplane, we hand fly all take offs and landings. After take off, we can turn the auto pilot on at 500 feet, but most people hand fly to around 10,000 feet. On landing, most people click off the auto pilot around 1500 feet or so. When the visibility is really bad, sometimes we have to keep the autopilot on until about 50 feet. On the next plane I will be flying, it has auto-land when the visibility is bad, so that will be weird.
So I could be a pilot?!?’v

If you are being serious, yes. I used to be a flight instructor. I only met a few people that couldn’t be trained. It’s a learned skill. I’m half retarded, did shitty in high school, didn’t go to college, but I went to flight school, paid attention and applied myself. It doesn’t take a genius, just hard work and training.

Do you regional airline pilots really make so little?

What's something passengers should know but usually don't?

Do you fly on your own time?
Have you ever thought of doing FAA Medical Exams? It can be a nice little goldmine for doctors who live where there are a lot of airline pilots. It’s all that my Dr. does. He’s a one man show. He doesn’t even have a receptionist, and doesn’t deal with any insurance. Exam takes around 10 minutes. 150 bucks, twice a year. His lobby is always full.

When I was a wee lad, all I wanted to be was a pilot when I grew up because we traveled so much, I thought planes were my second home.

I got diverted.
End of story.
