flch10000, your quote:
"...fiddling with the FMC obviously oblivious of how to enter a STAR into the RTE page..."
and then your contradiction:
"...I do not fly for a living, and thus do not qualify myself in any particular way..."
are precisely why you are not qualified to make stupid observations.
The fact that you have done B737 type rating course at FSI means nothing, especially if you have absolutely no actual flying or line experience on the type. A liitle bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing and I am sure that the crew who extended the courtesy of allowing you on the jump seat regret it now because of your petty comments which have absolutely no place on here. Either you have line experience on the B737 and are
VERY familiar with the FMC operation in actual, real life line operations or else you are just a petty person who
fantasises you know everything and feel smug making unfounded allegations about a professional crew who
DO have the real experience.
Yes, the others may be insulting you but I warned you that you would be flamed for making such stupid allegations without knowing much about what you are mentioning. In my eyes, and no doubt the rest of us who
DO operate these a/c every day for a living, your comments are as infuriating as those of the lowest of the low journalists who make sensational stories out of aviation non-events in the tabloids. I will warn the others who are unable to provide anything more than insults to hold back as they are not needed here. Flch1000 can try and change the argument and bring in the Guvnor which only goes to prove why I had him removed from posting his Walter Mitty experiences on here. You either have the experience and speak from it or else you are a fantasist Walter Mitty type who is in dire need of friends and pretending you are something you are not is not acceptable on here.
So, please don't challenge me on my own board because for your information I am not only 'judge and jury'... I'm also the executioner!
