Given the nature of the beast, I'll wager another they drive another one of their jets into the ground short of the runway before long. It's evident that they just don't get the picture that the runway is a surface for landing and not CFIT.:ugh:. People not having a death wish should think twice before boarding a jet manned by pseudo-pilots from that part of the world.


Star Alliance Crowd needs to take a closer look at this group before putting any of their passengers at risk.
