I don't understand that??

Jealous? Is he/she qualified or did his daddy get him the job? I'll bet he was a better pilot than the toad in the right seat with 5,300 hours.

What difference does it make? It doesn't appear that the crew did anything wrong here. Jackass.
 
2000 hour captains on 70 seat aircraft......that's sad. That many paying passengers deserve better.

Flame away, boyz, but I'll bet most of you that do so are fairly low time and not left seaters :)

Care to pull all of the accident reports of accidents involving 5000 hr.+ pilots ???
 
Hey BeCareful! Tell me how this situation would have been different with a CPT of your experience at the helm. Would you have ignored the RA and spared the FA?
I bet you would have acted in the same manner and would have applauded your own reaction to the situation.
Get A Life.

She's just pissed she's still flying an rj with 9,000 TT, giving hummers to the male FAs.
 
I wasn't trying to talk at all about what the incident was, just suprised as hell that they are putting 2000 hour pilots into the left seat of jets these days.
