You should never propose if you are not 100% sure the answer is yes. You talk about it before. The only thing that should be a surprise is where and how you propose.
I agree, but I would also add “the particulars of when” to the list of surprising qualities.

To be fair — if I talked to my hypothetical pilot boyfriend and agreed I would marry him and then he proposes on a flight he pilots, in front of all the passengers, I might say No no matter what we discussed previously. Because that would certainly make me question the whole relationship.
There can never be a 100% sure while the where and how to propose is still open, since it includes a lot of scenarios that range from uncomfortable to batshit insane.
Hopefully your hypothetical pilot boyfriend would understand that about you before proposing and not do such a thing.
Presumably in the OP, he had a sense of what would be exciting for her.
That was kinda my point. If you rely on the fact that your boyfriend or girlfriend understands you well enough that they wouldn’t do a proposal that makes you feel uncomfortable, then them doing something like that might be a deal breaker or at least not an immediate yes. Because it would make you rethink whether they really understand you. But we’re probably getting lost in hypotheticals here. As long as everyone involved in the OP was happy, I’m happy for them.
By hypothetical do you mean AI boyfriend and by say no do you mean your just worried about the plane being distracted? It didn’t go well for Bender I doubt it would for you.
is that what you should or shouldn’t do, eh?
The implication 😈
I imagine things would take a nosedive
“Ehhh, this is your captain speaking, ehhh, we’re gonna be experiencing some turbulence as the plane heads straight down into the ocean, ehhh, please remain seated while the seat belt light is on.”
“ALRIGHT! I"LL SAY YES BUT PLEASE GET BACK INTO THE COCKPIT AND FLY THE PLANE!”
Did you get clearance, Clarence?
The other day we were playing a video game and my 5 year old shouted “DO AN AILERON ROLL!!”
We must be doing something right.
That’s an implication for sure
Because if the girl said ‘no’, then the answer is obviously ‘no’. But the thing is she is not gonna say no. She would never say ‘no’, because of the implication.

God dammit.
I mean, that’s… the implication, right?
“Please say yes, for fucks sake!”
Makes sense, couldn’t afford to take time off to do it somewhere nice
“Based on the fact you called V1 too early, I’m going to say no.”
Me as a random passenger, 10 minutes after take-off, and crawling up on the shoreline…
That doesn’t sound like good crew resource management…
