actually I flew with her as well at Grand Airways, before she went to a 1900 operator (Air LA?) and then on to valujet. and she struck me as possibly the most unlucky person in the world. (she had an incident at gcn with an elk). But... had she not made earlier decisions she NEVER would have been in a valujet cockpit in the first place.
She would be at United NOW decrying her lot in life as she takes pay cut after paycut. So her decisions did haunt her and eventually she paid the ultimate price for it... Candy had a few other incidents as well. None of them as near as I could tell her fault... Just unlucky.
Small world, aint it?
And the ones I referred to as retired were the crawlbacks, not the newhire/type mill ones. They are still around. What I meant by that is that innaccuracies in the list are harming less and less of the crawlbacks. However, new hires were much younger overall then the crawlbacks. It will be around 2029 before the last of the newhires retires (assuming age 60 remains in place)
