First off I agree "fairmont" was in NO way like 3407. However, correct me if I am wrong. You are trying to say it is the companies responsibility to "educate" the pilot group on how to land at the correct / appropriate airport? The fairmont incident was purely poor airmanship and a complete lack of professionalism. Insinuating the company is some how responsible for "educating" the pilot group on how to accomplish one of the most basic and important aspects of our job is insulting to me as a pilot. This company doesn't handle much in the manor I am accustom, however I would have done the same thing in the fairmont situation. The difference, I would have sent out a company wide email to pilots stating "the pilot was fired and any other bozo who decides to land at the wrong airport will be fired as well".
Stop the excuses and assume some Professional Accountability
Just a thought
