A regional captain didn’t know how to break a stall. That’s a skill that was taught in his private pilot training. And to me, that’s wrong that he still didn’t know how to do it. Is that being pious?
I really enjoy flying with new hires and I didn’t forget where I came from. I just have a problem listening to people who struggle to fly talk about how they should be an airline captain yesterday just cause they’ve been 8 months on property.
I guess we just disagree.
I don’t think it’s wrong for pilots to know how to fly anymore that I think my surgeon should know how to cut. If you’re talking about an 8 monther shooting his/her mouth off about being a captain so quickly like that, then I give you praise for holding your tounge. But, your initial comment did not say anything of the like. You came off as someone who believes they never make a task error while flying but are quick to criticize those who do.
