You’re joking right? An LCA I had flown with told me it was more than a 50% termination rate, in training or on the line.
The CA that went off roading at night in Texas and took out the runway light? DEC
The CA that landed on the wrong runway in ORD because he couldn’t figure out how to auto tune with the preview needles up? DEC
The CA that landed on the runway edge light thinking it was the centerline lights of the runway? DEC
The CA that pulled the parking brake mid push (you know that video from the TEM training?) DEC
The CA that got a GPWS and didn’t add thrust and got as low as 800ft AGL and as slow as 103kts and nearly killed everyone onboard? DEC
So yeah, for the most part, DECs suck there’s no way around it. Some good ones here and there but most sucked. They were responsible for a lot of incidents and the reason for the no notice line check program. Saying anything else is just delusional.
