Maybe that’s not fair..... But after all the times I’ve seen them taxiing around at 60 knots and doing crazy ass stuff to make an approach work out....... It’s what I think.



This line of work has no place for fools. That silly ass cowboy stuff needs to stop-like at least a couple decades ago.



I’m sorry, but I just can’t overlook or excuse that kind of crap. Accidents happen. But accidents aren’t really accidents for those who tempt fate so often.



And once you’ve done this work long enough, you come to realize how little of it really comes down to “luck.”
