Desert is correct...!
But on the other hand if new students are being taught this dribble by an ex-NWA greybeard endorsing E/R's policies...(I only say this because a true line pilot for a major would never drink this cup of Kool-Aid) it seems he is more worried about his tenure rather than the future of US Aviation...
And ergo, what chance do our future Captains have if this is what they are having drummed into them...?
