Read the two 49ers books written by John Warham to see that he was one of two flight ops managers that stood up to the tyranny of the time. The rest, well, you know...
If our industry had more men like him, we'd be in a better place....
Ya, I know that he had tough standards...so what? And as far as memorizing every ERA on a flight to Europe....contrast that with many pilots today that....well, you know.
Which would you rather fly with?
All the best Mike.
