I’ve heard Robotech fanatics are having a hard time with the Hogan. J/K maybe

I flew with a captain recently that I had been warned was reckless and dangerous. And it didn't take long to see why. The guy applied full thrust as he pulled onto the runway...with the nose about 60 degrees off the centerline, side-loading the gear. Then he failed to apply any meaningful corrections in a crosswind landing as we drifted significantly from the centerline and the upwind wing picked up before we slowed enough for it to give up flying. I've seen better landings from 10 hour student pilots. The slap in the face? I saw the Aviate keychain on his bag and confirmed that he passed the Aviate interview. He's going to United. Way to go, United HR. Keep up the good work. We're all counting on you.

I have considered calling pro standards and may in fact do that.
