Perhaps FDXFLYR could share some of the details of how this incident was reconciled in his training.

Interesting thing to note is that could have represented 1300 hours of fighter time, which could equate to 7 years of flying, prior to getting hired into the right seat of the Mad Dog. Not saying that's the way it is, just that although 2300 hours does sound like low time, it could easily be real quality time over a good number of years.

They told us what happened, how it happened and what to do about it. Unless you fly the MD-10-10, it's of little concern to you. It's no big secret but it's also something I wouldn't talk about on a public forum without permission, and I ain't gonna ask.

Well there you have it, World Guy, it was something specific to the MD-10-10, and does not apply in any way to the MD-11.

But yeah, agreeing with you, I wouldn't rate the flight time as "low" if those scenarios were indeed said pilots background.
