I hope I never fly in your aircraft, before your "commercial responsibility" and contempt for your crew costs one airframe and 250 lives.
Item: 727 on approach to Cuenca. CVR - FO continually saying "you are too low" Ignored. Result CFIT
Item: CVR. Capt and enginer joking about FO "What is the difference between a duck and an FO? Well, a duck can fly" FOs warnings that they are hot and high ignored. Result Off the end of the runway
Item: Suspect u/c problem; Capt elects to fly round trying to fix. Fuel state gets lower and lower. FOs repeated warnings ignored. Result. Zero fuel, crash, all killed(and the irony is that the u/c problem was a faulty microswitch)
So come off your high horse and join the human race. You are not perfect - not even close.
