All Southwest Airlines pilots demonstrate their qualifications in periodic recurrent training and take pride in our role to operate our aircraft safely on over 3,400 flights per day.
...............And this Pilot failed to "demonstrate their qualifications" when the chips were down,thereby causing very expensive damage to the aircraft , Ergo, the qualifications were distinctly lacking.
Arguably it's Management's fault for continuing to pay somebody to operate in a role where they were clearly not suited (lack of colleague support, for one)
IMHO a very expensive mistake , the Captain only gets "found out" and loses the job that was beyond her capabilities.....the airline has a big admin bill, a big repair bill, a big storage bill, a loss of revenue on the Capital tied up in the unusable hulk.......
A lot cheaper to have "let -go" a misfit hire in the early stages.....Oh, and the HR incompetent nincompoops want the boot as well.
not a wannabe or a Simmer!
