wow aterpster... i wish i was as good a pilot as you, and completely immune to mistakes...
First, you have to be a pilot before you can be either a good, fair, or bad pilot. I have no idea about you.
As far as I am concerned you are putting words in my mouth. I never said I was a great pilot. I was a careful pilot, knew my company's procedures, and flew the airplanes
they owned in accordance with their directives.
I made my share of mistakes, some of which I caught and some of which my cooperative fellow crewmembers caught.
