I'm not worried.

One, I rarely fly.

Two, I know how to fly. Though I'm not high altitude/complex rated if I can handle a highly responsive aerobatic aircraft, I can drive a "bus" and get it on the ground safely. Ok, no aileron rolls, high yo-yos and such in a 737... ;-)

Three, I'm not vaccinated.

You have got to be kidding.

You think you can go from what is probably a single engine, maybe even a single seat aircraft to one that is two stories tall, jet propelled, electrical, fuel and systems complicated as well as the hydraulics....

I doubt you could manage the radios.

By the way, since most air carriers are operated at very high altitude, a decent through cloud cover is common. I assume that you are instrument rated and have the necessary approaches logged to be current.

And of course since one never knows what make and model aircraft he might draw on a trip, you know the bug speeds for all of the phases of flight on each and all that you might be riding, from an MD-80 to a 747.

Genius or joke of the day?
