ALL the pilots involved held FAA ISSUED pilot certificates from Commercial Pilot to ATP. All pilots involved PASSED type ratings from their respective airline whether it was CMR, PNCL, COLGAN. More than one went to Riddle, what is your point?
I thought so. More sh!t shoveling. Give it a rest. Your argument does not hold water.

The middle one went to Fedex while in his upper 20s and the youngest one recently went to Delta at 30.

Like I've said, the only ones remaining from my newhire class were GIA, as well as many other classes).

They departed the runway more or less immediately upon touchdown and went skidding right through the thankfully empty Midwest Express ramp. Then taxiied the very very bent and battered airplane to the gate. It was bent bad enough to where they couldn't get the cockpit door open.
