One of the many problems with imternet forums is the fact that people rush to judgement and shoot their mouths off even quicker. My CRM is just fine thank you. In fact my standard jumpseat brief is to ask the jump seater to speak up if they see anything they don't like. That said, delivery is a LARGE part of the message. You weren't there. He was an insistent tool despite being mistaken. With that, I'm through posting here on what's become flightinfoV2.0. Perhaps one day we'll have a respectful forum for us to exchange info and ideas. Fly safe!

Sigma Aviation Services for Korean Airlines
Dublin, Ireland
blah, blah, blah
Minimum Requirements:
- current B747-400/800 or B767 type rating
- be prepared to purchase own B777 type rating prior to training

Similarly nice to get done with long day and occasionally get out of the MD groupthink bubble.
BTW I'd say the SR22 is the new doctor-killer. A little too much plane for many.

my tool of almost every day
They guy/gal who decides to slow their aircraft without saying anything to ATC. This might be fine in Fargo (nothing against Fargo, loved the movie) but when 20+ aircraft are behind you, and spacing is predicated on you not slowing cause "I heard you tell the last guy short approach so I was setting up for one" or any other excuse, causes a massive chain reaction. I've seen this day in and day out lately and some of the chain reactions I've seen just this week were downright dangerous.
