Mitch Cronin Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks Jeff... I've seen that somewhere before, but I didn't remember seeing the Pilot drinking coffee while the AME is doing all that work. That's pretty creative, but I didn't much like the ending.

Guest rattler Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The ending is bad but it does sort of fit into the following: Flying an airplane is fun. Getting paid to do it is even better. For some people, it's the perfect job: an office that travels, a view that's constantly changing and challenges that are exhilarating. It has been said that a pilot's job is hours of boredom punctuated with seconds of sheer terror. This is perhaps hyperbole, but sometimes not all that far from the truth. A person who takes a multimillion dollar machine, casually flies it off the ground and then safely returns it, fascinates people. They wonder what it's like to be responsible for hundreds of lives or goods worth millions. When passengers peek inside a cockpit, they are amazed. They stare at the multitude of dials and ask incredulously, "Do you really know what they all do?" Pilots are the focal point and end operator in a huge team of highly trained professionals. They are the movie stars of the air transportation show, because they are the most visible people to the public, while most of the other team members remain "behind the scenes." But movie stars rarely die or cause others to die because of an on-the-job mistake. All pilots run that risk. Piloting is a serious business.

skyline Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Might have been funnier if a wheel had fallen off on the takeoff roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specs Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Sloppy walkarounds and taxiing through potholes will be in the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 They did not show the AME leaving that drop of Skydrol on the flight deck seat for that ring of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
