I was thinking the same thing about major airline pilots since I can remember. Whether they were running DC-8's out of gas in Portland, attempting to land during severe thunderstorms on the Airport in Dallas or Little Rock, repeatedly plopping them into the river at La guardia rightside up (737-400) or upside down (F-28), smashing L-1011's into the Everglades because (like the Colgan crew) no one was flying the plane or flat out forgot to set the flaps in Detroit or Dallas because (like the Colgan crew) they were flapping their chops, it always amazed me how well they can retian their holier-then-thou attitude.
BRAVO !!!!!!!!...........it's nice to see soime consistancy still exists !
