Although I just recently transitioned to the 777, I’ve been an airline pilot for 16 years and for the vast majority of that time I have been based in SFO. In that time I’ve flown a turboprop, regional jet, 737, and now on a 777 (over 15k hours total at this point)... but for the first couple months the FAA deemed that I was now unsafe to land in SFO.
I could fly into ORD or EWR, NRT or LHR, but should I be at the controls of an airplane going into the Bravo airspace I have flown in more than any other in my life, apparently everyone was going to die.
Go figure.
