Passengers want to fly direct. It the plane was like one of my golf balls they would only get to their destination after landing in the desert, bouncing off a few trees landing in the water and changing planes twice 🙂

Would you get gangs of kids jumping into lakes, diving to the bottom and then following you around shouting “wanna buy some nearly new airbuses, mister? – i’ve got a couple of 747 – 400’s as well!! ” 🙂

OR… when you next go on holiday, the plane lines up – the pilot opens the throttles – and the plane slews wildly into the air sideways and curves around until it is flying at 30 degrees to the runway. Over the intercom the pilot says “Damm…i sliced it!!” 🙂
