BlaBlaBla,
Your reading powers are staggering, day drinking is a hobby. My "high horse" was pointing out that airline flying is the easiest flying out there, and if one can't figure that one out, well.....
Airline flying requires a flying capability only just slightly better than Marvin Renslow had, to do a full career without too many bumps all you gotta do is:
#1- Not crash
#2- Pass a few check-rides
Staggeringly simple, but apparently some don't get it. I had one of the amazing 40k guys on one of my RLCs start arguing with one of our hotter headed LCAs over Mach transition changeover. The F/O was on probation and when the LCA stated they could continue the conversation in SLC after checking in with the chief pilot, he shut his pie hole. My debrief was in private and consisted of one question, "how come you haven't strangled him yet" my reply was "I don't get spooled up over the small chit" Ya'all just don't get it, this isn't Naval Aviation or Edwards Flight Test, it's airline flying, and it ain't that hard, in fact it's quite mediocre, and if you can't get that, oh well.
