For this so called expert to say this Captain was not a very good pilot because he was civilian trained is BS! Did this guy screw up, it looks that way, does that make him any less of pilot because he came up through the civilian ranks no! And just for the record all the accidents that have happened at SWA over the past few years, the over run in Burbank, the over run in Chicago, and the going off the runway in Amarillo, Texas, all three aircraft had captains that were ex-airforce. Funny, how we have not seen any experts give testimony to that.
WOW River6. Some guy comes on and says that military is good and you jump all over him and then you make statements like the one in bold above? Seems you should take some on your own advice.

Imagine if I started a thread out saying that most civvie pilots are not good stick and rudder guys - AFTER having gone through training that is recognized as some of the best in the world!
