What is your problem with the ex NJS guys?
One guy has an incident - an incident not an accident - and you call him lacking in imagination and ability.
If you look at the make up of guys in "the maiden" as you call it - you will find about 15 NJS guys out of well over 300.
Hardly the invading hordes overtaking the pilot group like the black death!
I might add that with a few exceptions the NJS guy had flown the following types - apart from the 146 of course - 727,DC9, 747-100/200/300/400, 777, 737-200/300/400, F28, A300, 767 and a few others that don't spring to mind.
Obviously not everyone flew every type - but you can see that they were not a bunch of no hopers.
There are more ex AN group people here than any other group
