Mark, the pilots acctually just hang out in the bar on the upper deck with the stewardesses for most of the time. The only time they are in the cockpit is when people board and deboard the plane, to give you that nice feeling of somebody being there. All the modern planes are connected via satellite to a "flight command" in India where a bunch of software guys that developed the FS for Microsoft actually fly the planes. At least this is what my pilot told me....
I knew I hated flying for a reason!
