Hi, I am here too.

Well hallo all you professional pilot types out there.

Yes I am a pilot too.

BUT, when I am a passenger too, I DO expect to the two guys at the sharp end of the bus to get it right.

How many pilots out there think of the 1 to 350 or so passengers behind them when flying.

Please remember you are not just flying around in a nice plane.

Get up, walk back 10 or so meters to where the people who really pay you are sitting and have a look around, then in a loud voice say to them.
"The gear wont go up and we may run out of fuel before we land. What do you all think, shall I divert and suffer big embarrassment or shall we crash with no risk of fire and I'll just say the FMS was wrong?"

Get real guys, be professional aviators for a change.

Send him to jail. Thats what I say send him to jail.

Oh and promote the Copilot to Cpt. and then demote him for not being strong enough in expressing him point of view and averting the crash.

Oh and to all the rest of you out there, thanks for all the times you get it right.
