Slowjet,
Capt. I don't think so. Unlikely even to be a SPO.for you
Are you implying that a flight engineer is somehow inferior? Having so much flight experience, 40 years all heavy jet, I am surprised you look down on your previous colleagues in such a way. Much better to work with 250 hour wonder boys/girls.
This truly cannot be the views of a 40 year, 22,000 hour, all jet, all heavy experienced head of selection board maverick.........can it ? Dismal.
