When I’ve been low time (in any seat) I’ve made plenty of errors that I could attribute to inexperience, unfamiliarity, work overload, etc. As a more seasoned pilot, most of my errors tend to come from complacency, past revisions, routine fatigue, etc. I’d imagine most of us are the same. I’m best off when I focus on that set of threats that is most applicable to my situation and not whether others are more error prone than I am.

When we almost smeared a 744 of people on the mountains in SFO, A LOT of people thought the PR disaster would have been unrecoverable.
You think if there was a body count in Maui and Newark, it would be ANY different?

Hopefully no airline ever has to test that out…..but to your point..I DO NOT think some carrier like Breeze could survive a Hull Loss at this moment.

So some people thought that, but it didn’t happen. Do you really think JP Morgan Chase would just dust their hands and exit stage right in your scenario? It’s an unnecessary distraction.

Yeah, because they got lucky and DIDN'T hit the mountain.
You're STILL not getting in, reading comprehension NOT your thing?
Man, the hubris to think that we could have killed A LOT of people, yet we're "too big to fail"
Doesn't matter if it was us, DAL, or AA. 2 widebodies full of people combined with a body count ISN'T a good look for the traveling public/TICKET BUYERS.
You REALLY think JP Morgan Chase would subsidize the airline waiting on passenger confidence (TICKET BUYERS) to return? Sure, whatever.....

Why is your quote function routinely screwed up? You gotta talk to the mods about that…..
