what a classless statement to make. if you know the specifics of that accident youd never use that against a pilot. the alaska today is one of the safest airlines out there. one of the most experienced too with junior captains having 10 yrs on the plane as FO. not like your 2 yr capts who are miserable with life and just happy to get out of their crappy regionals and into a bus.

He wasn't using it against the pilots. Nobody faulted the pilots in that crash at all. The discussion was shoddy maintenance, which was the direct cause of that accident.

From the NTSB report:

"This is a maintenance accident. Alaska Airlines' maintenance and inspection of its horizontal stabilizer activation system was poorly conceived and woefully executed. The failure was compounded by poor oversight...Had any of the managers, mechanics, inspectors, supervisors or FAA overseers whose job it was to protect this mechanism done their job conscientiously, this accident cannot happen...NTSB has made several specific maintenance recommendations, some already accomplished, that will, if followed, prevent the recurrence of this particular accident. But maintenance, poorly done, will find a way to bite somewhere else."

Well, glass houses and all. I'll put our mx against any in the industry. PR came on here making baseless accusations about something he knows nothing about. The NTSB put the blame for that accident squarely on mx.
