During Indoc at my first regional over 10 years ago, a line captain came in to talk to the class and said, “While you’re flying for the airlines you’ll never be as good as you are today at hand flying an aircraft.”

All of us were coming from the CFI ranks. And, looking back now, he was right.

This the same FAA that approved an MCAS system dependent on one AOA sensor...?

No worries. Every pilot thinks they’re above average, so it’s only the other guys who suck.

The Lake Wobegon flight academy made us all great sticks.

Almost every pilot is average. I can name the above average pilots I’ve flown with in my career on one hand. And I wouldn’t need all every finger. I think there are so many aspects to piloting that it’s difficult to be above average in all of them.
