Long Haul Flights

Don't care to fly a computer at my computer. I hand-fly most of my flights.

Why not? The one with the most hours is the best pilot! (Riiiiight)

Interesting point. I think I'll have to try some of those ol' turboprops again.

I don't fly many long haul flights or I am not of high enough rank to fly the big planes yet.

It's a real pity that we don't have any relief pilots to take over from us while we rest :P maybe we can just treat the autopilot as the relief pilot and get away from the computer for a "rest"? would be realistic wouldn't it (as in having rest times like real pilots)? :s ;)

Any FS pilot does stuff while they're in cruise mode, thats one of the reasons I do more stops to refuell, more landings!!;D, also back to the topic, any FS pilot has their roup of things they do to entertain time (I mean lets face it, the ocean isnt the most interesting thing to look at for 5 hours). The only  thing I dont agree on is sleeping.
