If I were SkyWest, I would be embarrased to have you as a CA.

Being a CA requires a quiet calm. The ability to make the right decision and or say the right thing when needed, and to know when not to say anything. With a comment like the one above, you indicate to me that you could potentially escalate a harmless situation with a passenger or crew member to something more substantial, one that could delay flights, harm individuals and even require outside assistance.

Good luck in your upgrade when it comes around. I hope you pass it.

are you even a pilot? doesn't sound like a 121 pilot. sound like a booky nerd who fantasizes about being an airline pilot
