To be judged by our peers is fair enough, to be judged by those who have absolutely no knowledge of aviation at all? Is that fair?
I thought perhaps, this was devolving into a thread about a hearing conducted of a line pilot by a base chief pilot.
Somewhat back on topic.... Sometimes, when accident CVR tapes are reviewed and FDR's decoded it appears that the accident/incident pilot's themselves have limited or no knowledge of aviation at all.
