Haha I think it's a 'control' thing. The railway is full of drivers who really wanted to be a pilot. One or two guys even have PPLs.
Hey. Perhaps we could start an exchange scheme ? I'll let you fly my 1200 tonne train if I can drive your 400 tonne Jumbo !!

It has its moments! (and a few "its 6am, I've been up 20hrs, i'm knackered, its mid atlantic and the ******* sun is coming up straight in my eyes again" moments too)!

Yup. It similar on the railway. Still, it's better than working for a living though don't you think ?
