It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

New Not only that..
Having (now) read all the CVRs at tailstrike from ~'62, including -
helpful FOs accidentally switching on Go-Around programs while Pilot is tryin to land -
shine-monkeys leavin duct-tape over All the pitot tubes after a wash/polish -
cargo planes with 3? of the 72 tie-down hooks actually used -
insouciant ones in-a-hurry, Daring evident wind-shear - yada

There's lots to be said for moving about in something that weighs under a million pounds.. and where only You gets to make all the mistrakes.

And the quality of banter! :-/ amongst those oft-bored minions.. makes the punniest day on IWE seem almost Pythonesque, y'know? Ain't there No *literate 'Pilots' ay-tall??

*Ah yes, there was One:
a wise Chinese Capt. trying to impart wisdom to the grasshopper he was letting land his kiloton charge. A bit prematurely, alas.
