British TV Program
You might know from the 'Rumours & News' forum that British TV (Channel 4) put on a programme last night alleging breaking of 'bottle to throttle' regulations by crews of a certain British airline. The programme (or should I say program) also featured by way of a demonstration a simulator test where two US pilots and a US flight engineer were given copious amounts of alcohol, then put in a 727 sim to see how they coped (not very well).
The pilots were Mel, aged 25, 2500 hours; Mike, aged 32, 4300 hours, and the F/E Bob, aged 30, 2500 hours. Does anybody know these guys? Were they really fully trained airline pilots and 727 rated? For whom do they work? Mel was in the left seat; would he really be there with such low hours?
Any information would be welcome, especially if the guys themselves could get in touch.
