at how silly I could be for saying this but that's what I felt anyways


Next time you get to fly a bus, have the pilots disconnect the batteries.
generators, and ram turbine. Try to land.

Next time you get to fly any plane. have the pilots take you through a
thunderstorm. Then decide what keeps an Airbus out of thunderstorms.

Next time you fly a bus, watch the autopilot fly a perfact approach, and
then watch as it goes missed approach into a holding pattern with very
little fuel remaining. Try not to sweat too much as the automation refuses
to release control to you because you forgot a keystroke while arming the
approach. Pray you figure it out before you run out of gas.

Next time you fly a bus, cut both engines at 35000 feet and try to land on a
runway. Any runway will do.

Next time you fly a bus, pray that the tail stays attached. Pray that it
will turn into a real airplane like an MD-80.
