"If a problem happens modern crews will faithfully run through all the checklists, call MX control if they can and then ride it in if that does not solve the problem."

Brought to you by Skyhigh, the same guy that said:

"The FO is one pilot to many in a job that requires a half alert person to begin with."

"What is so bad with PFT? Who cares? There are short cuts all over the industry. If you can find one then there is no shame in taking"

"It takes more of a sacrifice to become professionally licensed to cut hair than it does to become an airline pilot."

and

"Regional pilots get paid what they are worth. Modern automated planes do not need experienced flight crews anymore."

Sky obviously has no respect for pilots. Why give him a shread of credibility here?

Just for the record. I routinely fly visual approaches by looking out the window, have been asked to do raw data ILS's in the sim and once during IOE, and had to do a standby power approach in the sim using instrumentation along the lines of a Cessna 172. All of this hand flown. Sky is simply misrepresenting reality.

I think Skyhigh wants to see the bar lowered in the profession to prove to himself that he made the right decision to leave the career.
