in the military if you vapor lock you are dead. I have flown with 121 pilots that completely freeze. That can’t happen durring a reject.
im not saying that CAs are immune from vapor lock. In fact one of the worst lockups iv ever been a part of was with a CA that I had to take the controls from durring an unstable approach and go around.
also United only has 2 manuals…….so at Delta you don’t brief and have more manuals?
You aren't flying with a single pilot that has 2000 hours. If you are, it's MAYBE one guy. 99% of all 121-trained delta pilots here have at least one year flying in another civilian operation. RJ training is substantially more challenging than Delta. The vast majority of those pilots have several years at a regional and the majority of them have been captains.
This whole "non military trained FOs aren't good" is ignorant
