Yep. I got a nice laugh out of it.

You're what we call a "cool captain."I used to fly with a lot of 250-300 hour guys at Cape. They'd come in and build SIC time until they were eligible to get an ATP and upgrade. Great program for them, but many of the guys wouldn't let them fly if the weather was less than perfect. Screw that; I swapped legs every time. Never flown on a dark and stormy night? Great, your leg! I never let anyone put the aircraft at risk, and they all did a great job.
Gotta learn sometime.![]()

Playing Devils Advocate, but I've flown with some guys who shouldnt not have been sitting left seat... Maybe there should be a forum of "What would you do if the Captain is incompetant"??? Lol

I am thinking that this is why the whole green on green came about.
Well i guess its just the nature of the airlines, That's why I hate seniority based decisions just because one guy has been at that point doesnt mean he is ready but because his number is up he gets to move left even if he may not be ready but there may be someone with thousands and thousands of hours experience sitting in the right seat that was furloughed or laid off someplace else and he has to watch these friggin knobs move up.

The way I've heard it, usually the people who say that make you wonder which book they're talking about.(Not directed towards you) When I've heard people say this it means: I know a couple things really well, but I am oblivious to a lot of the book...unless they end it with "I make mistakes so speak up if you see something you don't like"
Like democracy, it is the worst way of doing things—except for all the other ways.Well i guess its just the nature of the airlines, That's why I hate seniority based decisions just because one guy has been at that point doesnt mean he is ready but because his number is up he gets to move left even if he may not be ready but there may be someone with thousands and thousands of hours experience sitting in the right seat that was furloughed or laid off someplace else and he has to watch these friggin knobs move up.
