Well Rick, I generally respect what you say here but you may have lost me here. As a 26 year A&P and one who worked a gate at SFO for 15 years for legacy UAL I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. NO PILOT, in any way shape or form is, was or have ever been my "
adult supervision". That is a ton of nerve and even more disrespect for the men and woman who provide to you everyday a safe, airworthy aircraft. Honestly.... Come on down off that horse man.....
