You took what I said out of context. I never said the guy was a legend. I also never said major airline Captains are legends. I said that he/she who gets to this level and upgrades to Captain is a process considered a legendary accomplishment. And it is, without a doubt, exactly that. Unless you become a check airman, you’ve reached the highest level of airman.

Therefore, the act of finally getting to become a major airline Captain, as you retrospectively look at how much blood, sweat and tears went into getting there, is pretty legendary. That does NOT mean they are legends.

You, my friend, clearly lack emotional intelligence. I can’t believe I had to explain this to you.

Also, getting to a major and upgrading has nothing to do with luck. The only thing that I’d consider “luck” is getting this entire profession paid for by daddy.
