PPF#1 - the value of your experience and knowledge in response to Raven's "it's-not-my-fault" rationalization is drowned-out by the noise of your childish name-calling and casts a large shadow on your credibilty - which you clearly wanted to establish with your "quit counting at 10,000 hours" comment.
While you may have scared off Raven or anyone considering posting a revealing experience - and therefore a valuable safety debate - your posts offer an opportunity to discuss a more subtle factor in aviation safety - personality.
There are many qualifications and characteristics that make a safe pilot, experience being one. Others are less obvious but, in the eyes of those whose job is aviation safety, can be even more telling. An article in a commercial aviation magazine speaks of the importance of interpersonal skills to aviation safety. An ATP and former senior accident investigator for the NTSB, who now works as an aviation consultant in Denver says, "Personality needs to be considered on a level of importance right along with piloting skills. When you have a pilot with an angry, ticked-off personality, his world shrinks, and his viewpoint is narrowed before he even gets in the cockpit. That in itself is a weakness, and for every captain - who is the purveyor of safety - his persona becomes a liability." - Business and Commercial Aviation, November 2004.
