Fictional.
1. I don't have to live with killing humans to pay my taxes.
2. Nobody forces a virtual pilot to fly, when he doesn't want to.
3. I can fly my way. I don't have to care about ATC, ROE or whatever.
4. I don't have any paperwork before take off and after landing.
5. If I make an error while flying, my career isn't ended.
6. If I forgot how to use this function, I can pause and reread the manual.
7. If I need to stop for a pee, I will either land or disconnect instead of returning home with wet trousers.
