"I think the eventual answer will be the unmanned cockpit. I’m not happy about it for a variety of reasons, but as drone- and spaceship-technology develops, we may conclude that total separation between plane and pilot is the safest way to ensure that travellers arrive at their destination in one piece. The magnificent men and women of the not-too-distant future will sit in concrete towers before elaborate screens, guiding their flying machines as if they were playing a computer game. There being no point in hijacking a plane they can’t fly, terrorists will have to think of something else.
Not to worry. They probably will."

Look really sad and say with a German accent "My brother was a GOOD CAPTAIN. You are horrible ugly woman to make awful joke." Then remain silent and stare into space until she leaves.

I try to stay off this thread, philosophically I try to have a more positive outlook but lately I must yield to self-evident truths, between Peter Garrison and today's winner...
Help A Young Girl's Dad Be A Pilot by Philip Webb - GoFundMe
Aggravating factor, he posted this multiple times on APC under the name "Philip Webb"...have no idea if that's his real name.
Additional aggravating factor, says he originally wanted be a military pilot but "family and friends talked him out of it". Bet it sucked that his dream of being a military aviator was screwed up by those annoying wars...who wants to join up during a war?

Using Go Fund Me to raise money for a pilot certificate makes this guy delusional. Trying to pull heart strings by saying his daughter inspired him makes him a tool. Man up like the majority of us and make your dream happen, do not sit around and wait for others to make it happen for you.

And the dude is going for the whole $80k! He is not willing to invest even a little in his own career advancement. I wouldn't give this guy a penny. Now, if he needed $5 or $10K to finish up? Maybe I would throw him a buck or two.

Does he really think $80K and a starting CFI job is going to land him the right seat of an airliner in 180 days.
I don't think he's really thought this all the way through...

Dad: "What do you want to be when you grow up, sweetheart?"
Kid: "I want to be Anna, from Frozen!!"
Dad: "Ahhh, I'm sorry sweetheart, but Frozen isn't real. Anna is just a drawing. So is her boyfriend, Kristoff."
Kid: "Well, you want to be 'TopGun', and Tom Cruise is a Scientologist, and Kelly McGillis is gay!"
