This subject is not cheesy, nor these convictions. Kudos to the original poster, because this is exactly what this profession needs – a little esteem. And I’ve got great news! Captains like Matt at Pinnacle and other airlines are just what we need.

First, these threads being denigrated by posters like “flyingsucks” are appalling to say the least. This just demonstrates that not only is every person allowed to read these posts, but any person can reply too! Use best judgment and disregard them like I do.

Second, every airliner is run by its Captain; every aspect from nose to tail. We need LEADERSHIP! Those that allow these awkward methods should be mortified! Newspapers laying all over the glare shield? As the aircraft commander, please stand up for yourself and your crew – and the public entrusting you with their safety.

Certain decision making and leadership skills are absent in today’s flying captains, as evidenced by this behavior. This is why it is intrinsically important to impart these skills to our newest aviators at the lowest level. Today’s captains were yesterday’s first officers, and everything we do as PIC is viewed by each person we make contact with.

You have a duty to operate your flight with utmost reliability, aptitude, and airmanship. Anything less and you should remove yourself.
