Totally agree with fulminn on basic flying skills
This is when children of the magenta line meet culture of fear……
If you create a system of punishing deviations from SOPs, procedures and rules then some people will act in strange ways. No one said rotate so I won’t, the flight director hasn’t moved so I can’t deviate from it….
Thankfully only a very, very small number of pilots would act in this way. As Fired 600 alludes to it is rather unfortunate that they got rid of so much experience last year.
