Our Respected Pilot Gossips
Just above: "... if you get involved in an accident ... someone will brand you a fruitcake ..."
That's always been the case: and our fellow pilots are our worst enemy.
This began before the rumors about the Captain in the mysterious inflight upset aboard SilkAir 19Dec97.
Our fellow pilots, and the Manufacturer, could take Captain Jesus Christ, and prove to the Board that he was suicidal.
For readers who might find this an overstatement, just think back to other mysterious inflight upsets during the '50's, '60's, and '70's: In North America the rumor of the suicidal co-pilot was a recurring theme (oh, he was strange!), and the Crash Axe, and rumors that the pilots deeply desired to deploy Flaps while at CRZ FL390.
