Doug the Head:
Yes, I am fully aware of where you are coming from. My question really is as to when he actually got his command on the DC-10. The earliest point is 1800hours and the latest point is 4999 hours.
My point is that folks are throwing their hands in the air when young Ryanair whippersnappers with only 3500 hours are getting their command on B737s.
This chap got his command on the Dead Cruicer with less than 5000 hours so why is he complaining about Ryanair?
I presume that he felt totally confident on his first outing in the DC-10?
