...but would it be worth jeopardizing 130 to 200 lives just to be able to hear that announcement? And what if there is a thunderstorm? Are you going to make me take over the controls again?

Regardless, knfenimore was absolutely correct:
Now that I have a better grasp at the concept of the brakes and when you need to do what I think I have it figured out - I was only applying one side thinking steering was primary, but braking is, and since you are coming in straight if you hit them both equally and hard you shouldnt need to steer til you have her slowed down!!!! I want another shot at that sim!!!!! I can tackle the foot thing I know I can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention I want to try the taxi'ing thing we didnt do.

Truth be told I have no desire to fly passengers, but I do think I might look into taking flight lessons on a small plane and if I ever win the lottery I am getting me a sim!!!!!! I just need my fix regularly *grin*.

My big dream, some day somehow I do want to ride the jump seat on something, I want to see a real pilot do what we did!!!
