So since precedent set, Id say the most trouble I've had were with new hires of all flavor of background on the 88. It was a humbling airplane. I never ever thought about that I "saved" the other pilot, rather just being an engaged PM/captain.
We all have our good and bad days. I hope the other crew member is there to help me out on those bad days, I'm certainly there for them. I wish we'd knock off this generational thing, it's not healthy attitude to have. Just my opinion on the matter and last I'll be posting about it.
I agree we do all have good days and bad days. And of course we are a team. It’s why 2 people in the flight deck at all times will ALWAYS be the safest way to conduct flight operations.
My response it more to the people that claim that there’s no risk in moving the age to 67, because there is. Father Time is an undefeated champion, and it wins quicker in some than others, that’s my point. Regardless if you are 64 or 24, it’s coming for us all.
