So yeah, autopilot was fine, autopilot exists. But the problem with autopilot is immediately you touch any of the controls manually it turns itself off for safety feature. Immediately you touch the stick so if you were to fall asleep and lean forward and just touch the stick or any of the controls it would turn itself off and then you'd be in real trouble because you're going to wake up in a spin or something that's not going to be very pleasant at all if you wake up at all. So I tend not to use those things. I don't use the cruise control on the car. I tend not to use those sort of things. I'm not a low tech guy. I mean I like my technology but I also I suppose a bit of a control freak and I like to be in control rather than my worst nightmare would be to have a car drive me. Absolutely would be my worst nightmare. But you know I think you can build out risk quite significantly. And as long as you do your due diligence and build out the risks. As I say I don't perceive it to be any greater risk than anything else. Me I look at guys that climb mountains and think you're crazy. Especially these free climbers. I've been hanging on by the fingertips from some rocky outcrop. That is my ideal complete lunacy. But those guys probably wouldn't go up in an aircraft. So my wife in all the years that we've been married and all the years I've been flying my wife has never flown with me. She won't fly with me. Quite happy for some complete stranger she's never met to take us on holiday in a very large aircraft. This guy is no more qualified than me. I'm qualified to fly 747. But she would not fly with me. End of story. She gets on the motorcycle with me. She drives in the cars with me. She could not fly with me. Full start period. Well there we go. Over.
