I like analogies and parables… you can relate good thought's across all platforms if done right.
Here's one to ponder…lol.
Cruising along in a big arsed jumbo, having a holiday… as I'm watching out the window, I see the pilot bail out… he's wearing a chute, so I;m not too stressed as to his safety, but wondering about mine.
The flight continues… so the co-pilot has got his shit together… ok…. cool.
Then I see another body flying past the window with a chute on…. and that one looked like he's got a co-pilots uniform on…….Hmmmmm….. that looks a bit dodgy…. as I look up the isle towards the pilots door.
Plane is still flying straight and not going into a death spiral…… hmmmm….. ok….. auto pilot is working, that's a good sign…… but I wonder what the fuck is going on in that cockpit….. hopefully the navigator has his shit together and is on that radio to the tower, getting all the necessary instructions to land this bird.
Still not stressed too much, but wondering if I should offer assistance up front in any way, because there's a lot of buttons, switches, levers and controls of all sorts to fiddle with….. for a nice smooth landing.
Thennnnnnnnnn,..oh fuck… was that the navigator bailing out as well???…. what the fuck???………….I'm not sure that anyone is piloting this baby anymore…… hmmmm….. best go have a look.
Sooooooooo…. knowing that the door will be heavily barricaded and strengthened to keep the likes of me or any "terrorist" from getting in….. I look through the rows of passengers, as I'm running up the isle….. spot the most useless out of the lot ( yes Narco, I finally found a use for you ), grab him and use his head as a battering ram….. fortunately it's as thick as a brick and easily broke down the door.
Now here we are… cockpit is empty… planes on auto pilot and that pilot seat looks mighty comfy…..ahhhhhhh….it is……lol.
I've yet to find anything mechanical that I cant use as though it's an extension of my body… so I recon my hands on the wheel,are as good as anyone's.
BUT… here we have a problem… flying this sucker is easy and getting fucking boring…… at some point there needs to be some very SIMPLE directions….OR…. confirmation that the information given by shills (God damn terrorists…lol) is correct.
I know all 3 had parachutes on… so those fuckers are down there somewhere and can EASILY send a message as to direction to take.
Just so I can program the heading into console, plot course…… and stop circling the drain, watching fuel burn.
Did that message get across?… A simple yes/no on shills advice……
yeah….. I could have just asked that…. but meh…lol.
