I want to know who is this idiot the
BBC dragged up?... one "
Jim Ferguson - an aviation writer from the UK" who, during studio interview, came out with comments such as:
"
the plane would have been difficult to land with only one pilot at the controls"
"
You could, I gather, land a 777 single-handed - but it would require a lot of effort and it would appear [in this case there was] a very young co-pilot - so if there was another one, that would help. "
"
It would be very difficult, very distressing. I don't know if this [scenario] is carried out on simulator training or not."
"
it must have been "very difficult, very distressing" to land the plane safely."
Jim Ferguson, if you're reading this (
and you really should be! ), I'd invite you to keep your half-baked ideas about flying a jet airliner out of the public domain. And, fwiw, I've just sent an email to the BBC asking them to desist from using you as an aviation pundit, as you quite clearly do not know what you are talking about!
