Comments like yours remind me how everyone's life experience is different!

For various reasons, my family would fly back and forth between the U.S. and Europe, so I grew up flying thousands of miles a year on 747's.

The year I get married we decided to check out Israel, and flew twice! from NY -> Israel -> NY -> FL -> AZ -> NY -> ETC), with almost all legs on a 747.

In Phoenix I learnt to pilot a small plane, (and have sat in the pilot's seat of 747 without touching anything :)), and that's probably because of my rearing.
