Comment one time "everyone I've flown with has been great." Me - "you haven't flown with enough guys then." Mostly tongue in cheek... Next trip - "I just flew with the guy!"

Same goes with speed brake use. Most get it but there's the outliers. That's what the discussion is mostly about.

Reinsert the CI works best on the gray bus. Flaps2/Full was best on the yellow ones.

talking to most pilots you’d swear they were high up with astronauts and Doctors.

But in reality they are closer to garbagemen and truck drivers.

Same lame logic going into Punta Cana. Typical summer time pop corn all over the island. Tops 13,000 - 15,000. Weak FO descends EARLY and then he's *****ing about the ride. WTF, how about staying higher than normal and using the boards to hustle down much closer to the airport? You know, less time in the turbulence? Yes, speed brakes are a great tool on those days. Guess who struggled in their upgrade....despite having years on the airplane?

2000+ hours dual given. Some men you just can't reach. Trust me.

"Weak FOs"... To me a strong FO is one that is a professional and have good judgment. I could care less if he/she uses speedbrakes or is early when descending. Funny when people try to make this rocket science, is not.
