Today's airline training teaches pilots everything except HOW TO FLY THE
AIRPLANE.
Ain't that the truth, as there seems to be a complete lack of understanding when it comes to the stick and rudder principles. Not just reserved for airline training either, as the blind (who were not taught properly) are partially creating the next generation of the blind.
Time for some Organisations to stop enforcing the 60 or 65 age limit (on those who are still on top of their game, and whose expertise they sorely need) in an effort to maintain the competency, experience, and safe helmsmanship which their fare paying passengers are entitled to??
Regards to all the full bottles out there who have a proven record of doing it as it should be done.
