Thats fine willie. I'm not suggesting you were in the "arrogant" bracket!

One arrogance bought about by over exuberance and ego and othe other arrogance brought about by complacency and ego.
I'm sure, and I would hope that just as I have found very few captains to be in the complacent and arrogant camp you hopefully find relatively few guys of my experience level to be over-exuberant and ego driven.

The widely varying experience levels on the flight deck at ezy makes the need for a clearly defined policy on stable approaches and adherence to SOP important, but I can't help thinking the management were looking for a "victim" with this case. FDM data alone without extensive investigation into the other variables is surely not enough to terminate someone's employment.

The captain who is the subject matter of this thread was neither arrogant or complacent, and I always found him to be a safe operator.
