That's not to say a 23 year old can't be professional. I'm 23 and I wouldn't even think about doing something that stupid. Maybe it's just a Pinnacle thing. From what I hear they have changed their training curriculum accordingly, though.
easy there kiddo... dont say its a pinnacle thing. I work here and would never do anything like that either. so bashing an entire pilot group for the acts of a few is not very good form. i have buddies at asa who have told me stories of rogue pilots,, even ones that intentionally get the stick shaker to "prep for a sim check coming up".. yeah, if you haven't heard of that one just ask around. Just because there are a few nuts at every airline doesn't mean all the pilots of the respective group are in the same boat.
