Well, as most others have had their say on this one then I'll add my bit: I don'tknow Maximum Pete myself, which type of A/C he trains on or which airline he worked for. However it is totally obvious from what many others have said he is the sort of total professional who has probably forgotten more about flying than I have ever learned. I have met several such in my career and to draw knowledge, experience and wisdom from them is a privelege. But what of the young lady? Well, in view of the ineptness of the management who let this situation arise in the first place, I have no doubt that they will be fooled by her techniques into letting her have her command in due course. I just hope that I am not a passenger on the aircraft she commands in the short time she is allowed to command it. Or will all the other F/O's, trained by M.P. to the highest standards, haul her out of trouble time and time again? If this happens, she may eventually be able to claim several hundred hours IN COMMAND of a fast passenger jet. Ouch.. .. .Enjoy your retirement M.P.
