A couple days ago I flew with a 16k hour capt....I had to babysit him/her about his/her airspeed the whole flight! If I wasnt watching we could of easily hit the shaker or redline....Mabey he/she was just too old or lacked basic airmanship...A capt with that kind of experience just needs a plane with autothrottles not a low time FO... The Colgan crash would of been avoided if that experienced crew had a autothrottle to lean on...Many people in the 121 world lack basic airmanship...The problem with the airlines is that these Capts will never be let go until the day they crash a plane....Certain people should not be in the cockpit and thats includes all flight hours.
