1) Our captains have just as much, if not more, systems knowledge as yours.
2) We deal with many more systems related issues on a daily basis due to our MX than you do.
You can put 1 and 2 together in a blender and come out with your above quote, but that's not what I said. Also, I did not belittle anyone. I just said our captains are on par with yours from a knowledge standpoint because we NEED to be.
Is that a fact ?
Crapola.
OK Mr. Wizard, please show us the quantifiable data that supports your assertion in point #1.
The fact is son, that there is no way to say any one particular pilot group has more "knowledge" then another for that is not quantifiable and the above is simply ASSUMPTION on your part based on erronous belief.
To elaborate further regarding claim #2, it is also an erronous ASSUMPTION because it is based on the hypothisis that more maintenance write-ups or malfunctions implies more system knowledege. There is no correlation between that. By that same twisted logic, I could say Eagle captains have more "system knowledge" then AA or UAL pilots because WE have more systems related issues on a daily basis then they do, implying our maintenance is sub to theirs.......which is the argument you appear to hinging your erronous assumption on (that your captains are superior in system knowledge because of TSA's slipshod maintenance).
That isn't true either (although it does appear TSA has slipshod maintenance).
The only thing in a blender is the logic you're using to substantiate your misguided claims.
