Do you trust your airline pilots?

Just a quick question for you all out there - when you board a plane, do you trust the pilots and crew? Or do you have doubts about thier commitment to your saftey, and so forth?

As a pilot myself, I'm pretty interested - tell me your stories! Do you trust us more then say a Doctor, or policeman? Let me know!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Grrr - As it happens, a couple of hours after I started this thread - had this assfuck of a passenger who wouldn't turn off his cell phone - if you trust me to fly the damn plane, listen to my damn instructions and follow the damn rules. Do you pick and choose the laws you want to follow? Do you blatently ignore the police when they tell you to do something?

Ugh - that's what pisses me off most - if you trust us, then listen to us - we don't talk just to hear ourselves talk (at least most of the time, heh). We do have your saftey in mind - and I personally don't want to drag your sorry ass out of the plane if the shit hits the fan because you didn't listen to the breifing because you were busy answering a goddamn phone call.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The planes I fly don't have window shades

But it is in case of evacuation, so that your eyes are already accustomed to the light outside - so you're not bumbling around - same reason why they turn the lights off as well.

Ever been outside in the sun, and then came inside, remember how dark it looks until your eyes get accustomed? Or the other way around?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
