Just to chime in with my two cents worth.......

ALL the captains I flew with (part 135 / corporate, medium/heavy turbo prop and light jet) were at LEAST 10 years older than I. Everyday I flew with them I LEARNED something. Not to say that there weren't some who thought they were 'sky gods'....but THEY were the minority!! The attitude I've been reading here is absolutely incredible to me, and I really don't understand it....last I knew, didn't the airlines- especially the larger carriers - do psych tests?? Does "F/O Lambourne" REALLY think his 'gummer' Captains aren't reporting his behavior?? How long does he think HIS career is likely to last?

Some of "F/O Lambourne's" comments have revealed a down right hazard to flight safety....and I hope to God neither my family OR I are EVER on a flight with him!
