I noticed that too. A super senior check airman with a couple of shuttle landings no doubt.

Whats really sad is the aviation expert being so far off the mark. US airlines almost always use a 3 man crew on the North Atlantic although i have done BOS AMS with just 2 crew. As far as being in First Class goes I did it all the time both Atlantic and Pacific if a seat was available and I felt like a movie.

Time for a highly compensated and recently hired chief communications officer to earn HIS stripes.

Looks like your avatar is appropriate unless you aren't a pilot at all. Definitely a troll though.
