The time really has come for me to put my foot down. Silly Boy/Ruthless, yes, one and the same person, is NOT an airline pilot and has NO airline experience. A quick review of his/her posts reveals that we have yet another wannabe trying to pretend to be something they are not. In this case, trying to be clever and insulting at the same time. Well, you are not going to ruin these forums for those of us who do the job and are in a position to debate and discuss this incident.
So, go back to studying for your fATPL exams and worry about whether your 75% pass mark will hinder you in your search for a job. You are not in a position to criticise these pilots. If the rest of us who have an understanding of what it must have been like for them want to discuss it then we will. Once you, Ruthless/Silly Boy get your first jet job, then perhaps you will be able to take part in these discussions and have some understanding about what could have caused this crew to make the mistake they did.
Not everyone is 'siding with them'. Those that have bad words to say about them are at least as qualified as they are and not some trumped up wannabe who thinks that because they have done some theory exams and flown a single engined Cessna or Piper from A to B to C with an examiner that that gives them some right to pretend that they have reached the experience level to have an opinion. We, and I mean the 'we who have some experience in the job of flying jets from A to B for pay', can at least understand how this incident happened. It doesn't mean that we are infallible ourselves and we care to try and understand how it all went wrong so that 'WE' can avoid the same mistake ourselves one day.
What Eirjet decide to do with the pilots is up to them. When wannabes like Silly Boy/Ruthless get their first experience of an LPC in a real sim, we'll see how perfect he/she is then. Until you have been through the wringer and have an understanding of how these mistakes can happen you'd be well advised to crank that neck in a few notches because as was mentioned earlier in this thread, it is always very easy for those of us in the job to spot the pretenders who mess up threads like this for the rest of us.
