Sorry to hear. Did they ever pay anyone out? Had a friend that was going there a few years ago. Feel for the guy. Congrats on the gig. Still in SLC?

About 1:30 in for those who have never seen it.

Believe it or not, but you can actually learn a lot from screwing around with good payware aircraft. If you're a commercial pilot on top of that, you're pretty much set to fly a real airliner.
Look at it this way; being a commercial pilot gives me mad flying skillz and playing around with a good payware airplane gives me mad button-pushing skillz. All that I have to do is use my commercial-pilot flying skillz to fly, say, a 767 to over four hundred feet above the ground, then I will use my button-pushing skillz to push LNAV, VNAV and CMD. Now I can take my hands off of the controls and put them on some food.
Easy.
I can haz yob at Southernyets?

Yup, that's one of them. Also can change your call sign or aircraft type. Make a Cherokee show up as AF1 and a super heavy... Or a ground vehicle.

I drive planes
Basically. Haha. Too many people under-estimate the power of a good MSFS flying real routes, with real time weather (AS6 win) with VATSIM, and a PMDG airplane.

My favorite airplane to fly around was the Level-D Simulations 767. At the time, I had Delta's 757/767 systems manual that I used to verify the functionality of select systems. These systems, although not perfect, were modeled fairly well. This is the biggest benefit with nice payware.
Now, I'm not saying that I can jump into an actual 767 and fly it, but I definitely get a better idea of how the various systems function to make the airplane fly.

I keep trying to tell guys this. If you can fly the sim, you can fly the jet. I don't yet understand why we don't just put 16 year olds in the box and put them in command of a 777. You're never going to see all of those emergencies in a real airplane, anyhow! Also, Unions suck and are just there to keep the Go-Getters and Achievers behind all the lazy, no-good line pilots who are attempting to sabotage the dreams of the REAL pilots.

Still in SLC for a week then off to the beach for the summer. Not sure what is going on with them now but the wave of low time pilots they created is dying down. Funny how many of those guys had 1k hours when they closed.

Airplanes are just big video games anyway!

The garmin box is a bit finicky.
I was up high, but this time I mean it, around 7500 coming back from Skagway. On the box, I was watching Pat fly nearly perfect contours of the Taku, but was talking with him clear as a bell on our freq. He was really over Funter Bay/Pass.
It was like Twilight Zone material...
On another note, it was best to enter into stealth mode, if I was treating myself to a tour. CRABS was good, and bad.
I was asked one day why I went where I did, because they were watching me the whole time on it. "The weather sucks", was a valid response, that didn't require any secondary scrutiny.

You're going about this the wrong way. You need to approach the situation from the standpoint of a regional airline; put sixteen-year-old kids in the right seat, not in command. Airliners still require two pilots in the front, and sixteen-year-old kids do not belong in the left seat.
You fail to see the logic behind the two-person pilot crew. In an emergency, the sixteen-year-old, under the direction of the Captain, of course, will run through the emergency-checklist items, and the Captain will fly the airplane. If you have a question about a certain item, just ask the Captain.
Use your brain.

Bizarre. Yeah that box o' magic does some weird things sometimes. When you learn to talk to the box via laptop, you unlock even more cool stuff. Such as Legit Stealth Mode, which makes you disappear any time youre squawking 1200. That's also how you get access to change the tail number that gets displayed on CRABS and on other people's ADS-B equipment.

We could change the N number inflight, through a few buttons pushed. Also, we would switch it off and not be picked up on CRABS or other ADS-B equipped planes.
This was convenient when the ginger was out there. That dude worried too much.
However, it was also good to track someone else, while they scouted a route to/from Juneau.
Hey wings, you're going to Gus right?
Ya
Why are you over Hoonah?
Weather sucks
Ohh
