My last flight was in 1974 but I did fall asleep in my Lear 45 FSX simulator on my way to KJAC. Radio woke me up...Yawn. Never dozed in the car....my bride co=p-lot won't allow it.
The only things I ever flew was a single engine during my flight training which I had in 1970's..and never did my check ride (Long Story). I have flown thousands of hours using Microsoft FSX and am very good at it. I do not think I would rush to the flight deck if a "pilot" was requested to come forward in a commercial jet. I would spend that time calling my loved ones and talking to GOD. However, I do subscribe to the saying "FLY IT TO THE CRASH SITE" so would probably volunteer to try if nobody came forward. Expectation of success...about 15% I guess.
So, what are the odds of the rocket launching into space followed by the plane..(now 178,000 lbs lighter) skipping off into space shortly thereafter? Talk about a "moment to remember". "Earth...we have a problem".
