<p>[quote user="243129"]Fear is to be overcome and that can only be done/observed in a real time situation.[/quote]</p> <p>That is just wrong. You train this kind of situation in a simulator as long as necessary so that you know what to do in the real time situation, as others already said, instinctively. Fear never ever can be allowed to take over. And those situation you wouldn't like to encounter on the road and can't be train there, have to be trained in a simulator, but not the toy kind but a full motion type I posted.</p> <p>We have a saying in Germany: Fear is a bad advisor.</p> <p>[quote user="243129"]My merits as a locomotive engineer will not help? Would you enlist the help of a proctologist for having your teeth cleaned?[/quote]</p> <p>It will only of limited use. Being able to run a locomotive doesn't mean to be able to judge people. But Zugmann already said this.</p> <p>I wouldn't go. But I never would hire a civil engineer like me alone. Luckily in a large corporation assistance by Human Resource people was mandatory. And even then there were more misses thanI like to admit. One should know one's limits.<br />Regards, Volker</p> <p> </p>
