[stylist] february teleconference

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

justin,
you have not introduced yourself, please do.

we discussed the inside of plane or locomotive.  small close enclosed 
space, noise constant.
both have large windows to look forward, both have heaters against the cold.
while the insides of the locomotive might allow some room for an 
engineer to walk a little, the inside of a plane's cockpit if it is a 
small craft is not to different from  the insides of a two-door or 
four-door car.  no room to walk around.  a private jet has a bit more 
room in the cockpit, the passengers can freely move around unless 
takeoff, landing, or bad weather is occurring.
in a locomotive the engineer is very two-dimensionally oriented.  in 
an aircraft, the pilot is very three-dimensionally oriented.
both have radios, meters, electronics.  a commercial airliner is most 
comfortable, and often has three or four seats.  pilots and crews 
have some comforts, room, and also have some computer assistance in 
flying the plane.  thus, they have even more of the electronics in 
front of them, to their sides, and above them.

hope this helps justin.  this is far beyond what we discussed in the 
teleconference.
