Quite correct Captain C, some are extremely slow learners.
They are. But don't feel bad about that megan; everyone learns at their own pace and I'm sure (ish) you'll get there in the end.
It seems some apparently did, having been observed at 500 feet AGL.
And if this were true, it should have generated an incident report from McMurdo staff and the pilots disciplined appropriately on a case by case basis. This isn't evidence that this sort of flying was sanctioned by the airline, and the fact that one pilot gets away with reckless flying and poor airmanship in no way exonerates another when he doesn't.
