No, No, Nooo
You guys got it all wrong. Pilots should not be paid any more and, well if you follow my fuzzy logic should get paid even less...here's why.
In the ol' days, Pilots faced with this problem would get out the books and figger out how to fix the problem. If it were an ol DC8, the FE'd be down there in the hole pullin breakers and runnin jumper wires to get that baby turned around and fixed, all the while computing the best %MAC, speeds and tire friction to make the outcome so that the airplane didnt get broke.
NO! These guys broke the airplane, then broke it more when the ground it down to a nub, so THEY SHOULD MAKE LESS. Actually they should have to pay for the damage. Makes sense to me after drinkin two cups of bad java...water here is kinda skunky.
Pilots these days are button pushers. You'd think they'd put more info in them damn laptops to help them fix a problem like this. Its all electrons chasin each other around up there, these kids bein' computer geeks should be able to fix the damn problem. Aint like it used to be.
Oh, ok. Those kids did a fabulous job landin that french piece of tin. Dangit, woulda been better if in the flare the thing spun around to center and ....miracle of miracles. Aint that how it would be in the movies? Heroes all.
They earned their blue chips anyways. Too bad they walked outside and started wavin their hands like a couple of beauty queens at homecoming to the choppers overhead. Shoulda walked out and lit up a smoke, spit on the ground and wipe the sweat offin their heads.
Where's the charisma these days?
Tex.
