These are pilots that have been flying the line for at least a couple years in the 121 environment. I hope that person was an outlier. I wonder what the overall rate is for this sub-group.
I have to imagine it's from a complete lack of crm skills not necessarily flying abilities...as new hire FOs are essentially accomplishing the same training footprint with a high rate of sucesss. They aren't letting upgrades through who cannot effectively manage emerg/abnormal situations.
