I'm offering an apology. I am not fully aware of the demographics of experience at Cape Air, however, I do know there are pilots at Cape Air who have been around since the beginning if not right after the beginning. I also know there are Cape Air pilots who have recently been hired with not so much experience.

Without having insider knowledge of who the pilot actually was. . .my assumption could be considered a valid point. With your "kind" assistance, I now know my assumption is wrong.

Furthermore. . .I'm stating that despite one's experience level(Cape Air pilot or not), the ability to make snap decisions in a limited amount of time is possible.

What I'm really "knocking" is the media. Obviously you didn't pick up on that.
