Oh dear! Do I detect 'it' has arrived on this forum now?

Did it say the Captain 'saved' the approach??? Indeed not, he screwed it up! It would have been fine, if 'long-winded', but safe.

Is this the same ssg who thinks airline pilots are robots and can only read from a checklist? Who (when I WAS seeing the posts) said

"If you guys just hope that all the problems in a plane are in the Sops manual...well that would be nice wouldnt it...how comforting...
Maybe you guys are trained to do what makes sense 80% of the time, they don't want you guys to think..."

and

"First of all we are asking opinions of guys that were hired to read a checklist and follow the SOPS that someone else gave them...we might as well debate this with thier chief pilots because these guys will spew the same blather over and over to keep thier jobs.. These guys weren't hired for thier experience, but to what the company wanted and to be trained the way they wanted. If you want thier opinion, they go to the SOPS manual..."

but in 2006 asked

"Eating in the cockpit, single pilot
Anyone have any SOPS eating in the cockpit for single pilot ops?"

and a year earlier asked for opinions about breast feeding in the cockpit...................I rest my case

Hmm! Anyone else sense a troll? Do I gather it has to fly alone in the cockpit?

It is either running that "how to manage an airline" game and a Flt Sim programme or is in serious need of help. Also has probably NEVER taken the Flt Sim aircraft off a runway which is JUST long enough for the twin afterburner take-off technique.

Could someone please keep it OFF this forum which is about safety and CRM? If not, for the sake of this forum, use the ignore function.
