Brutus, as the name implies maybe a bit brutal..... Otherwise next time someone farts on the flight deck that would be a 225 as it can also be a little incapacitating and therefore immediately reportable!

I am sure the intent of that post that got your attention was meant to allude to a most likely innocent error of leaving the phone on and receiving a text on approach. Regardless of why and how now, I guess now that it is news we will have to wait for the report and a possible outcome of a career ending instead of a career adjusted for the better, that is the sad part. We are human and that requires a humane outcome.......

Discipline in the cockpit is not innate, it is acquired from your fellow mentors. Errors are made on every sector, it is how we deal with those errors that separates our profession from most others. I give them the benefit of the doubt as fellow pilots and wish them a sensible outcome.
