Jeez.
A guy offers an alternative point of view in a reasonably restrained way and he gets abused and called an arseclown.
Reminds me of an ALPA bloke who had a go in a staff meeting many years ago at AirNZ.
"Remind me to never, ever share a flight deck with you pal" - I thought to myself.
"You're not just an angry man - with an attitude like that - you're actually an absolute danger to other people".
I discovered that the said A320 Captain had climbed on take-off from AKL for a considerable period with the wheels down, and had only reluctantly retracted the gear when the FA stuck her head through the door and said, "Captain K****n - the undercarriage...!"
FO was too !!!! scared to say anything.
And that's a story that was relayed to me by another very experienced NZ captain; well known in gliding circles in NZ.
Really angry people have no place in this industry... certainly nowhere near a yoke or control column.
