   72% of you are sensible, non-delusional people. And to the 28% who are helping me get over my imposter syndrome: fellas, no, you really couldn’t. And to the ones who told me they would because they’d had some flight training on small aircraft, no you wouldn’t because you can’t follow instructions

     @BethanyBlack maybe it's a weird interpretation of what "could" means. not "I would be able to" but "there is a possible world where I manage a smooth landing by sheer luck".

     @konosocio that’s lookingg for the wrong trick in the question, designed to catch out mostly men who are far more likely to interpret “could” that way

     @BethanyBlack Missed the poll, but I'm firmly in he 'no' category. If everything was perfect and I was farting out winning lotto numbers: no. But it's not perfect - the entire crew that knows more than me is not available so already it's a disaster. That's more shovelfuls of nope. And I can't think of any examples where a larger craft was talked down with *ATC* and not *Years Experienced Class-Certified Pilot* operating whoever the Meat-Proxy was sitting in the cockpit... Yeah. No.

     @BethanyBlack Yes And.... They can't follow instructions that require that they abstain from providing input!

     Just now I looked at a thread where I asked for very specific suggestions.

     https://social.coop/@brainwane/111687485724097125

     I got a few responses, and the only ones where the responders disregarded what I said I wanted were from men.

     That is so frustrating.
