This is truly a sad world
I was an airline pilot for 33 years. Only once did I have a questionable pilot. It turns out he was ok. That is a false statement against a very honorable profession. This thread ignores the reality of the political environment we are in. When jet fuel goes through the roof it decimates the airlines and you become the victim of hard choices the airlines have to make. Airline operations are one of the most complex operations that you can’t imagine. Please hold your tongue.
