Hearing talk of the Gulfstream guys brings back memories of the Northeast pilots that were the Albatross around our neck after that merger in 1972.

Mercifully the last one retired a few years ago.

IMHO the pilots I've flown with have been 98-99% good pilots and normal enough to hang with on a layover. The Northeast guys were more like 50/50. Some of them were so bad you saved some sick leave just in case... That was pre-Do Not Fly list.

Would really hate to see us take on another mass error.
