Rephrasing please
Hi,
There was a text about pilotage and these sort of things as a metaphor. " Aircraft carrier in ten-foot waves. Pilot approaches at 800 feet. Tail hook down and arrester gear reset. Break turn at 4g. Wheels connect; the wire is caught. 250 mph to dead stop; six seconds. Just as complex with less probability of death: getting a product from a producer's dock to a retailer's hot spot."
I can get the meaning just a little, but I really liked someone to rephrase it. And what HOT SPOT and 4G mean?
