Some perspective: I spoke to a young Captain the other day who mentioned he had recently flown with a first officer who had failed his command course. The first officer flippantly pointed out that his command course failure was no big deal since he was still earning more money as a first officer, than he was as the young Captain! How’s that for chutzpah? I mean really….this made my blood boil!
Raven11, are you that easily agitated or that gullible to believe anything anyone tells you? Do you know the whole circumstance before you let yourself get an ulcer? What if the F/O was much, much senior to the young captain, (you know the guy in charge of the ship), and failed his command course only because it was politically motivated. ie. some of our very senior ex flight engineers who have been held back unfairly.
