They didn't say incompetent, they said the terrorists didn't want to learn how to land. Well, if I'm planning on crashing a plane into a building, learning how to land on a runway won't do me much good either. I'll give you a secret about airplanes. It's all VERY easy until you try to land. Flying a jetliner is a piece of cake. Hell I did a story several years ago with the biggest bimbo reporter on our staff about airline flight simulators - the full motion ones that really feel like you're flying. She took off and flew around just fine. Crashed on landing, but the flying part was very easy.
