Well, I started when I was 14 years old.
I sold a glider.
And I got, I came out of high school with my flight instructor certificates.
I was a little motivated.
I enjoyed it way too much.
I've seen way too many computer issues where, and it just takes a little anomaly.
You get, you know, bad electron going through or whatever, power interruption, other things.
And I've had communication errors as well along the way, both with voice and with some of the newer, like our CPDLC, the controller pilot data links, and other more advanced communication systems where we revert back to basically an HF radio.
And then things happen.
It's not perfect.
It's a man-made machine.
Having two cognitively aware pilots up there that can analyze situations as they come along and solve it and make a good execution that gets you on the ground safely, that's more important.
And
Doing it remotely, you lose a lot.
What if the data fee is down?
What if you're not getting all of the information?
And there's more to it than just reading a gauge.
It's looking at the overall picture along with the feel of the aircraft.
And that tells a lot as well as everything else, especially when you're using the flight controls and, you know,
understanding how the airplane is responding directly, both with the instrumentation and visually looking out the window.
