Excuse my harshness here, but....
Just what the hell is that supposed to mean?!? What does that have to do with this entire story? Was it the F/Os fault that an act of god (no, not the captain, the other god) affected the airplane? Did he do something wrong?

The training that your so-called 300 hour pilot received is exactly the same training that a 1500 hour pilot would have received. Except everyone knows that a 1500 hour pilot has flown a single engine rj MANY more times than some pitiful 300 hour pilot.

You make me sick. You start a thread reporting on an interesting event, then proceed to throw pooh all over it.
