I do not let any of My familly and Friends Fly on airlines that have such crazy hiring mins., such as ASA, MESA etc., and you all that have any regard for your famillys safety should not either
But we should all remember that this can happen to anyone, 250, 2500, and even 25,000 hr guys. Be safe out there guys n gals.
Just a quick note on 250 hour new hires. Im pretty sure most people would agree that the CA does the taxiing. This crazy upgrade thing has only recently taken place in the past year or so. The CA should have had over 2500TT to even be there and chances are he/she had more. I don't really know what it all has to do with 250hr new hires. I actually know of the crew that was on board that aircraft and they both have a bit of seniority under their belts. Guess what it all boils down to is that we are only human. I can't believe that doesn't happen more if you ask me. Completely amazes me.
