I am not a pilot... or havent you been paying attention? I am here because I investigate serious untoward incidents mainly on behalf of the Health and Safety Executive and Healthcare Commission. I specialise in healthcare incidents but have also considerable experience in transport incidents.

Lets get this very straight... I can and do investigate people like yourself when things go wrong. I have qualifications and experience not as aircrew or a surgeon but in risk management and NEBOSH that give me the ability to do so.

My instance of a drunk pilot is not irrelevant as it is a very marked example of how a passenger can confront the practices of a flight crew. I would also complain very strongly if I saw a child in a cockpit with his hands on the yoke.... is that relevant enough for you or do you think that just saying that I dont have pilot's qualifications that it wont mean that the captain that allowed such a practice wont be sacked? You really need to appreciate that people dont just accept the "oh you are just SLF" any more.

Your arrogance will either get you sacked or killed. And you are a far bigger fool than I ever will be because you cannot listen to others.
