But I find it hard to understand why some people just can't seem to realize when they are talking to a qualified airline pilot who, just like them, does not wish to end up a burning hole in the ground due to an explosive
decompression or an out-of-trim aircraft.
Helios
Spanair
et al
I suppose these aircraft were crewed by unqualified airline pilots who did wish to end up as a burning hole in the ground?
