Wasn't "management", was he?
Bet if you gave me the pilots name he'd be on my list of "accidents waiting to happen". Unless he was someone I hadn't flown with before I left the sinking ship.
No, ACBus1, he isn't management.
Just a very good line captain, decent bloke, excellent CRM etc and certainly wouldn't feature on anyone's list of an accident waiting to happen. In fact I can't think of a single pilot - in either seat - who would fit that particular bill. As for
watching your back - we're getting shafted far more by balpa than we are by the company! And no, I'm not management either.
As others have said: If it can happen, it will.
