Yet, being such an expert he resorts to stating 'facts' using words like:
- well, that's what people say...
Boring misrepresentation. He says "It's what they say" and he means "It's what they[the crew] say[in the cockpit]". (See transcript 10:03:22). But, you cannot even figure it out and assume that "they" means overheard hearsay and you twist your translation that way. One might say you were a little "biased" or something.
How is this relevant at all? He didn't involve the passenger, the others did - I don't see how this applies at the accident we are discussing...
It's EXTREMELY relevant because if they have issues with alternate airport choices then perhaps they should resolve them BEFORE flight plan is made, before boarding the plane and not run all around the cockpit during flight as was the norm with Kaczynskis on board. See Kaczynski interview again for details.
Certainly a pilot of the squadron who quit in 1999 is 'in the know' - damn right looking at this interview!
He was not just a pilot, he was the commander of the 36th Air Regiment for over 12 years and, lost no planes. At that time, it was also assumed that the commander of that Regiment was the best pilot, whose duties also included flying the President on important missions, which he did. Afterwards, they increasingly preferred political appointees as commanders with almost zero experience, which he discusses in detail.
Now, what is interesting, he never liked Kaczynskis because they canned him for some never determined improprieties as seems to be the re-occurring scheme for them. Someone does not kiss their ass, he must be a Russian agent or something, they smear him, destroy him, and at the end this proves to be yet another Kaczynski fantasy (See Doctor G., Blida stories and many others).
