ERAU may have vetted their alumnist... but, clearl, ynot her plan of action. It’s apparent ERAU have an elective course on how to claw one’s way to the bottom?

Well, to be fair, I didn't see anywhere that *she* claimed to have been a widebody captain. That was from the poster above. No idea where he got that notion.

Had her for a class way back. She was a WX professor. Said she only flew lears at the time. Didn’t have much experience from what I got from it but my memory is foggy.

I stand corrected, she was a Lear CA, and a DC10 FO, I got the two mixed up. That makes sense with being furloughed. Doesn’t appear typed, but if you remember FOs didn’t need to be typed until 05.

Yes.

Engine failure followed by cabin depressurisation nothing more.

The crew did a great job getting everyone home safely, but I’m not sure how you make a news story out of it.

Furthermore, I can’t imagine any rational pilot would participate in a sensationalised news story particularly in a filmed simulator session of an aircraft I have little experience in without he minimum required crew.

I’m betting the actual event was NOTHING like this.
