the ONLY explanation i might have for their way of thinking is, they’re under the impression that the pilot will not be turning on the jets…but rather, just strapping the plane in place, and turning on the treadmill? thus getting the wheels up to speed, but having the plane hold still? that’s all i can think of, is that they are under the impression that the jets will not be turned on…

i really think the logic is that since a person running on a treadmill doesn’t move forward, then a plane on a treadmill is also incapable of moving forward…
