I personally doubt they could hand fly an ILS

No, I don't think those pilots could hand fly a non-precision approach...them and 99% of pilots in this country.

It's actually funny, pilots outside of the USA are actually quite good at flying NPA. Specially NDB.
When i was going through SAS selection we had to a few different approaches, only 1 ILS, but we had to do NDBs, VORs, B.C etc..

That was just an Airspeed un reliable event. Nothing with the trim or any other flight controls.
Are you in training at AA? Is that your first major or did you leave SWA?

Why’d you leave SWA after six years? You were more than halfway to upgrade.

Because even as a new-hire at AA he’ll still upgrade quicker than at our airline. That or he can go live the international widebody lifestyle.

After world events of last few hours, that statement may not be so true any more.

Well you’re not seeing the bright side of all of this. At least we don’t have any more tweets now!

Do not worry about that . 13 percent will vote for anything and 84 percent will vote for anything that they are told is the best they will get .
