In the end, we are all on the same team.....right?
Dizel... you can attempt to justify incompetent leadership however you like. I'm unaware of the specifics of the other situations you site, but rest assured, if the result is similar then this industry is plagued by incompetent captains.
The fact that you dismiss holding passengers hostage for up to 11 hours on a dead airplane with no food, electricity, ventilation, or human waste removal as "industry standard" is abhorrent. You have COMPLETELY lost touch with humanity if you think this is acceptable.
Because you have demonstrated such horrific leadership and complete abdication of captain authority, you will soon find congress legislating humane treatment of passengers in similar situations and congress will severely curb your authority in the future because you have demonstrated such poor leadership in the past.
BBB
Hey BBB, I for one agree with you and as you read, everyone agrees with you! what people take exception to is your continued lambasting of a dead horse, and with a sort of holier than thou demeaner. Generalizing the industry as being filled with incompetant captains and then repeating over and over again actually defeats the true purpose of your posts. if your delivery is wrong, then your message will be lost and my friend, it was lost back on page 2.
Now about congress legislating humane treatment of pax, id like to inform you that the EU as a whole is already under legislature because of their grand incompetence and lack of regard for people and their workers. Now i could take a page out of your book and go on and on about the euro trash out there and single out BA and other bristish (minded) carriers that havent exactly been role models for the rest of the industry, but i wont because that is counter-intuitive and discredits my attempts to call out for a cohesive front to try and be better professionals. you wont build unity with stones my friend, and in an industry where a good samaritan gesture could land you in jail, goes to show we all work in a glass house. We all know this industry isnt what it used to be, and the captain authority has been slowly eroded over the years (I AM NOT CONDONING HOLDING PEOPLE FOR 11 HOURS, RELAX BBB) but i just wish to remind you that this is a much more hostile environment where crews are gulity until proven innocent.
Now i for one, view news reports about aviation incidents with sceptisizm....just frankly because 90% the have no freaking clue what they are talking about and still show pictures of 727's taking off when they talk about a major airline.....im only interested in official faa, ntsb, or intercompany documentation that is factual, relevant, correct and has corrective actions. the news networks need to add bias and flair and some kerosene of their own to keep ratings high...remember that.
We get your point BBB, we agreed with you back on page 1, now people are just engaging your means, and i would have to agree with them.
now the whole comment about
"i sense much anger in young BBB"......almost made me spit my coffee out!
lmfao!!!!!
