even funnier when someone will school him who has never flown 
With all due respect earl, this is a game and on more than one occasion I have had discussions with Colmbo where his comparison of this game with real life suggested he fails to notice subtle but key points in those differences.
I have nothing but respect for his real life experience and he surely knows volumes more about aviation in general than I do. But we should not forget that this knowledge does not transfer into the digital realm flawlessly. Following any one proclaimed expert mindlessly is counter productive.
I will always assume that others are who they say they are until evidence otherwise starts to mount. as such, I respect your enormous aviation experience but I take issue with Colmbo's statements in the coordination thread you are referring to. Perhaps if I wanted other players to acquire faulty beliefs that capped their skill level at a point that I found abusable, I would just say nothing and not challenge the comments.
As someone so subtly pointed out as well, real life experience does not make one top dog in this game by any criteria nor is it an important issue but illustrates differences. I would love to see more players flying as Colmbo does, as if it were real. He is an accomplished professional pilot and he deserves respect for such but none of us are irreproachable.
<S> to both you and Colmbo, may you have the wisdom to have an open mind and a thick skin
