    Theres no problem with susan. C.S. Lewis was using narnia as a very christian metaphor, for… come to think of it, lots of things. Included in that metaphor was a Peter Pan esque commentary of childhood. Susan grew up too fast. Thats it. Flawed as it may be, thats the bit. Misogynistic as is seems on reflection, i dont think it was intended that way.

    Boys never grow up. If you have full grown man in your life, you already know this.

    If you dont, you are missing out. Want to have a child without actually having a child? Make guy friends. Everything will make sense after that.





  • In my experience, this is one of the devices that only creates more confusion in what already is a high stress environement. I get what you are saying, but i doubt there is a single pilot under the age of 60 that would ever use this device willingly. The heirarchy anymore is the in suite avionics, then secondary instruments, then Ipad, then, asking for vectors.

    Its like an abacus. Theres just very little use for it anymore. And maintaining proficiency is only for the test.



  • Yes you are. The insurance company takes money from healthy people, scoops some off the top for themselves, and then distributes the rest to pay for grandmas hip replacement.

    Unless you use the same or more than what you paid into insurance, you are subsidizing someone elses healthcare.
