Obviously your work here currently or used to. And if you don't work here, why are you here?

Anyhow, I don't disagree with anything your said. The last 2 times this happened, it was very costly and no one lost their jobs over it. Inexcusable to have happened again. Last time the FAA wouldn't even let pilots fly one leg back to base. They were dead in the water which I felt like was unnecessarily harsh on their part. It wasn't like the pilots hadn't taken and passed their checkrides. I know that one of the times the instructor (retired, non line pilot) hadn't attended ground school so they dequaled all the guys who'd done checkrides with him. That's pretty ridiculous. I mean, has the FAA sat thru one of our ground schools? Lol. They are not exactly the cornerstone of our safety culture.
