Definition of a Tool......I was giving a check ride on an international flight to a captain a month or two after 9/11. His briefing to the very senior F/As consisted of 20 minutes of how to disable a perp. Which include how to take a pen, pierce the eyeball and rotate it counter clockwise (never explained why the direction).
Or how to pierce the torso between the ribs with any number of devices found on the airplane. Never did get to the important parts of the flight, wx, time etc.
So was I the tool to let this idiot (tool) continue or was it so off the charts, I wasn't believing what I was hearing?
