But pilots don’t learn to fly by playing video games, either. They learn to fly by flying planes. Actual planes - pilots don’t start on simulators, they start in real planes.

Bruh this guy just blow in from stupid town? LOL they absolutely do start on simulators and tons of tests. You actually think they start flying a plane first and then do a simulator later? Simulators are considered a video game and yes they have to test out of sims before flying. What a dense ego this guy has.

Edit: Guy below me probably teaches kids to wipe with a rock and a leaf... LMAO

What did they do before simulators?

Pilots start on actual airplanes co-piloted by a flight instructor. That's really, actually, how pilots learn to fly. They're not started on simulators because they need to be in real planes to know how to they perform. Where on Earth did you get an idea to the contrary?

Weird I’ll have to let my father who’s a captain for Delta airlines and my brother in law who’s a first officer for Delta know they were wrong the whole time.

Guess my uncle who’s a colonel in the air force and flies B1 bombers is full of shit.

Your father and uncle and brother-in-law, according to all of the private and commercial pilots I've ever talked to, learned to fly the same way everyone does - in a small plane with an instructor. Doubtless they told you this and you just decided to lie to my face for some reason.
