Like, I’m on a plane. I don’t want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.

    Or Autoland or a HUD landing which both can go down to 0/0, conditions permitting. There’s a lot of tools these days that pilots (especially Air Transport Pilots) can use to fly. And yes, all of it requires fairly extensive training.

      Pffft I’ve played Flappy Bird. How hard can it be?

      After watching Mentour Pilot I have an appreciation of just how much training they undergo. It’s basically the closest thing we have to a real Starship Enterprise type setting where the captain seems to have an answer to everything that comes up, because that’s precisely what they aim for.
