What A Load Of Crap This is...
I can tell you a story of a high time AIRTRAN captain and an airforce FO that almost put a 717 in the trees in raleigh. The captain kept pulling back the auto-throttles on go around and the super superior airforce FO sat on his hands as they somehow barely made it around at tree top level. The entire thing watched by the tower thinking there where going to stall at any second. The captain was fired, the air force FO was kept because of... get this.... his inexperience :laugh: . Had that happened at comair, asa, or express jet you would all be making ipod and ab initio jokes.
I have jumpseated on many delta flights back to florida and have had more than one time of getting off the plane and thinking WTF...
Point is... there are turds at every airline and unfortunately we promote and hire based on seniority instead of skill.
