10. Bunch of fat guys seated on the right side of the plane made us
vector east.

9. We get paid by the hour.

8. Mapquest always takes you the long way, am I right, people?

7. Tired of that show-off Sullenberger getting all the attention.

6. You try steering one of those airplanes after eight or nine
cocktails.

5. Wanted to catch the end of the in-flight movie.

4. Activating autopilot and making occasional P.A. announcements is
exhausting.

3. According to our map, we only missed our target by half an inch.

2. For a change, we decided to send luggage to the right city and lose
the passengers.

1. Thought we saw balloon boy.

Yeah. It really is hard. Plus, you see double runways, which is what happened with the taxiway landing in Atlanta.
