Who said 250hrs in a RJ was bad?

Enough Said about what??? Are you first for sure that guy only had 250 hours? Number two...Is that a training session?. I just think that you are overlooking a lot of factors that could be at play here. I'm not defending the guy for getting all the GPWS warnings as well as the hard landing but could tell you that if it is in a training environment and if it is his first landing...oh well. You have to understand that not all 250 hour pilots are the same. No need to hate on others who got into the industry with low time. I am one of them and resent the fact for some reason that there's a lot of hatred towards us. I work just as hard if not harder than someone else just because I know I have to prove more to others that I'm able and capable of doing what they can. That is definitely the reason that I was able to get through our training and I'm out there flying the line. So please, lay off the insults and stop categorizing.

First of all, welcome to JC. Second, calm down there buddy. You got all that from my one sentence eh? I was poking fun cause if you talk to any captain that flys with someone with 250hrs they have plenty of stories for you. From the looks of the vid I doubt the guys even a pilot. No need to go off like that, we are all here to help each other. Seems like you've wanted to let this out for a while.
 
Looks like some guys playing with the sim. It was one of the best parts of being an intern! (although we never hit the ground that hard...lol)

And if you can use the plane again, it was a great landing!

I didn't know motion sims could slam that hard.

Motion Sims can become so violent people have died in them. I heard of a few people who have broken their necks.

We were warned that its strong enough to rip itself off the floor. Don't know if thats true but it kept us in check :P
 
Whoa, if most feel a great landing is that which you can reuse the plane, then I fear for the standards people set themselves. Of course, I realize it's partly a joke. (or so I hope! yikes)

Are you one of these 250 hour wonders? Is that why you're so defensive?

Yeah, if you read again through his post, he mentions it that he is. I don't berate them though. It's hard to judge each individual's situation. (...and before you ask, no, I'm an instructor barely at 400TT)
