    Niki Lauda is my hero. I followed his career driving when I was in high school and years later flying the L-1011 I had a LaudaAir pilot on my jumpseat. I was really interested to hear what he had to say because I knew that Niki flew the line routinely and this guy said he was a complete asshole... yes he had flown with him as captain and hated it... perfectionist, everything had to be absolutely correct. YOU BET... that's not being an asshole, that's being Niki Lauda perfect... there is that way, and then there is everything else, which is not correct. I thought he was incredibly lucky to get to say that he flew with Niki Lauda, and no doubt learned something and was a better pilot for it.

    • @thomaswinkler8129
      @thomaswinkler8129 6 лет назад +7

      Please remember, why he is such a complete asshole (in the meaning of 'complete perfectionist')!! As a business man he experienced an airplane crash with no survivors - and the airplane was carrying HIS NAME!! An airplane crash with ALL ITS CONSEQUENCES (law suits, accusations by relatives, ...)!! And he never ever wants this to happen to his airline again. So it is logical that he demands everything related to his airline to be perfect. I am sure he explains this to his employees in a very polite way. But if one of his employees (e.g. co-pilots) doesn't want to understand this and the airplane is only few minutes before airborne, he has to take the direct way (=> the 'asshole'-way).

    Mr. Lauda was and always will be an example of what a genuine human being truly is. In world that is filled with people that are always looking to hear what they want to hear rather than be presented with the truth along with brutal honesty, this man gives us all an example of how things should be approached in life. Niki was always himself, he was not trying to be an actor as most people in this stage known as life. The final stage of a man according to Shakespere is the return to a child like state and I totally agree but there are a few exceptions along the way and Niki Lauda is one of them. I cherish any footage of this man being interviewed. Rest in peace Niki. You may not have had any friends around you in the end, yet I bet you were surrounded by many that loved you when you passed on. I do know for a fact you were immediately challenged in the after life to a race in the cosmos by your true friend James Hunt. Death is not the end, it is the beginning of an unknown to an unknown place, with no real destination as the soul takes on a journey through the infinite pages of time. I wish all people the best in life and hope we all can come together as one in the near future. The universe is electric energy powering the unknown and that is a beautiful thing if you think about it.
