Is that any different then an FA sitting at the controls when a pilot is in the LAV?
CA's have not been allowed to let Interns occupy flight controls stations for a long time.

At APC we have to draw a fine line with stuff like this, but our default is slightly more open sharing of info (and discussion) which would often otherwise be shut down on company or union channels. That's also why we have allowed anonymous accounts, unlike some other forums.

I really don't have much sympathy for such egregiously terrible judgement; how in the world can such poor judgment and professionalism be rehabilitated?

But if you can’t see the difference between the two scenarios, maybe YOU need the psych eval.

Just to clarify, nobody actually drowns in the example metaphor.

I can and will denounce such BS and total failures of judgement. Oh, and I am involved when family and friends once again ask, WTF is going on with UA.
