Flt 6 is laid at ups doorstep because of their failure to install EVAS on aircraft that are carrying the most dangersous material shipped...lithium metal batteries. I heard that because they are self-insured, ups actually made money from this crash.
The DC8 into PHL should have been a wakeup call for EVAS and was instead ignored by these "superior airmen." I remember Pet Rock turning a 757 90 degrees at 30 kts groundspeed...how safe it that? I was shocked beyond words and was grateful the gear held.
The only reason FQS hasn't had a major accident (unless you count the MD11 they bent to hell) is because they cherry pick their flying to fly the least hazardous/tiring pairings to get their flying. When have you EVER seen a FQS operating 3 SDF-ABQ-PHX-SDF in a row? Never...but they consider that "safe" for a line guy.
Your prissy superiority being "promoted" into management is actually sickening. What is worse is when you start believing that maybe you are "more talented" than a line guy. What you guys do is backstab your union brethren to get to the left seat early. Well, you guys may be in the left seat, but you're not capts in my book
