some of whom will be good and some will also be cowboys
That line of yours brings in another angle
different horses for different courses! Airline pilot profiles are for the team player almost accountant type profiles while the fast jet pilot is the loner the risk taker.
The Ferry pilot another animal
Maybe the cowboy pilot suits a certain situation so we have to ask what is a good pilot and what is a bad pilot?
The litmus test was always would you trust your kids in their hands and probably that answers it!
Does the pilot instill in you the feeling that he will not loose the plot under any pressure, will make the right choices and will never get behind the aircraft? and knows his aircraft as if it was an extension of himself.
Any other opinions
Pace
