This sounds like one of those guys who then proceeds to scare the daylights out of you in the cockpit and you have to secretly save his bacon on a minute by minute basis to get there alive. But man, if you even make it obvious once that he screwed up, you're going to get another one of these "I am an aviator" speeches.

"There are three types of flyers in this world. 5% are aviators who always go above and beyond. 10% are pilots who are consistent. The remaining 85% are certificate holders who only can pass a check ride." I, myself, am an aviator. Which one are you? And you better hope you aren't a certificate holder or you are going to have a tough time."
That is not me saying that. Its a quotation just FYI.

Just laughed my a%$ off at the self proclaimed 777 pilot/sim tech that CNN has had on all week.
First off you're on national television. Shave the scent saver and put on something nicer than blue jeans and a tee shirt.
Second. When you go to demonstrate the stopping capabilities of the 777 on a 4000' strip on nation television.... make sure you use reverse thrust. Even the anchor and the retired 777 (real) pilot had a hard time from busting up when they started to see dirt, grass and trees go by!
Smooth move buddy.......

What is it they say in the Navy?
"If the Minimum weren't good enough, it wouldn't be the minimum!"
or was it, "Anything over 70% is just showing off!"
and at the Air Force Academy,
"If you have to cheat to win... WIN!"

"This is not the first time. He's been warned before," he told The Associated Press.
"Even though I let him be on TV he shamed us Canadians and shamed my company with the way he was dressing like he was 15 years old,"
The guy was a known screwup. What did he expect?
