Ok so a lot of people have had a say, and in my opinion been very unprofessional by slating two fellow pilots (not including ex mil/corp pilots) that they have never even met! These near two hundred posts are based on a newspaper article that's facts are based around the captain having 1100 flight hours! I can state for fact that is way below the companies requirements.
The only statement I spotted that made any factual reading was the comment "you find buffoons in all walks of life!"
I hope if any of you sky gods ever find yourself in a sticky situation, you all deal with it perfectly, and hundreds of posts on prune about how fabulous you are appears this thread.
