Gentlemen...
From the viewpoint of an experienced aviator of some 14,000 flight hours logged over a 25 year flying career, some 5,000 of which were logged as B747-1/2/3/SP, and much of that in the company of 18-Wheeler.
His competence as an operator of heavy metal has never been in any doubt by me or anyone I'm aware of.
He is a professional airman, take that as read, he doesn't do it any other way!
and Yes, he did recently fly Metroliners, the details of which are public at his discretion!
and No, we're not brothers, in fact I haven't see/spoken with him for a couple of years now.
I suggest you'all find something constructive to chat about, and stop this negative nonsense about a professional colleague.
