Default Oh, the pressure!

I've flown with DEs and with very experienced instructors. But nothing
prepared me for today. In a new (to me) plane, I was flying with three
other pilots on board.

Yikes!

In fact, it wasn't so bad until it came time to park at our destination.
How four pilots could come up with five different opinions is still leaving
me a little baffled.

Perhaps the scariest moment, though, was when we stopped to pick up two of
the passengers. With four of us to be in a 182, we were a little concerned
about weight. When we asked the two pilots about to join us for their
weights, one answered "...fully clothed".

Now *that's* a solution to W&B problems that I've yet to see on an FAA
written.
