- MegaButts 2y agoCommercial pilots have approximately 100x as much training as your typical driver.
- Hamuko 2y agoNo but they have years of training.

- Yoric 2y agoA few years ago, I sat in an Italian airplane with the cockpit door open. The pilot and copilot spent most of the trip speaking to each other, using their hands to emphasize their words (if you've ever seen two Italians arguing passionately, you'll see what I mean). As far as I could tell, they only had their hands on the instruments during take off and landing. It was a bit weird :)
