Factual but biased. The guy has only be charged and they don't even have a body at this point. The couple could still be alive for all we know.
Neville. I am curious about the bias you perceive. We may have seen different reports, of course, but bias? Where, and to whose benefit or detriment? My understanding is that the man in question has been charged, and that that fact has been reported by multiple journalists with, it can be agreed, varying degrees of over excitement. Bias, however, points to unfairness, but I cannot see such unfairness, at least not in the news reports I have seen. The couple may well be alive, as you say, but that possibility only confirms bad things are afoot, as they would likely be being held against their will at the very least.

An Airbus check Captain doesn’t fit the murderer profile. I nearly fell over when I heard the news reporting a checkie was arrested.
In the UK at least quite a few Captains have been jailed for Murder the last decade or so, it isn't too shocking, BA Captain not so long ago, but agreed, this one seems odd as the others were domestic violence.

These are highly skilled, paid, and well regarded professionals by the public. The safety of thousands are in my hands daily, they put trust in me, and my team deliver it back to them.

Still can’t sort of believe the whole thing and the type of person involved, but it is what it is.
You do realize you just gave yourself a heathy slap on the back and a thumbs up , right?? You just told all who care to read that in your opinion you are a highly skilled, paid, well regarded professional. Talking about professions and personality traits, you come across as quite a narcissist.

What exactly do you want me to say? We are unskilled poverty stricken cheap imported labour? Hey those people do exist up the front in many other places, just be appreciate of the standard we have down under.

It has been a pleasure throughout my career (like all) to have had the ability to get access to the standard of training that this country offers. That translates into a safe work environment which myself and my team pride ourselves on. It is what it is, some places dish up **** check and training standards, this one does not, I thank those who have got me this far in my career.

I know for a certain fact that Police prosecutors are not happy with the level of detail that has been leaked for the simple reason that it creates the opportunity for the defence to argue that a fair trial in Victoria is not possible since jury members have already been prejudiced.

If a pilot is doing his job well, he would be well nigh invisible to the pax, doesn't matter if he is a nice guy or a sociopath, do your job and no one notices.

Your colleagues ‘notice’. Think that’s not important?
Maybe not to a psycho.

CASA’s Screaming Skull and the Mr Ansett’s “ TJ” are two of the angriest and narcissistic pilots you could ever meet. The perfect example of professional pilots with uncontrolled angry emotions. But not every murderer is a born murderer. Yes, some are psychopaths and sociopaths, but many murders are committed by very normal average people, people who have been pushed to the edge, perhaps snapped during a situation, or have simply not bothered to try to apply reasonableness and contain their inner anger.

There is much unknown about the case with Lynn and I’m sure that a clear picture will be framed if and when a trial begins. The cops aren’t stupid and the circumstantial evidence is strong. It will be an interesting case to follow.

Psycopaths are born that way it is a form of brain malformation where the emotion part does not develop properly and is hereditary. Sociopaths are created by life forces in general, so are not born that way, most are created from experience.

Both can hide to a certain extent, but will not do their job 'well', they may be capable pilots, but will generally be unreliable and prone to violent or irrational behavior. They will also find it hard to fit in with SOPs and being told what to do, especially if they don't like it, generally they will do everything to try and subvert doing what they are supposed to, even to the point of danger. Affected pilots who have progressed through GA in an un-guided sort of fashion would be more likely to survive rather than say a cadet who has to fit in with the system from day one. It is more likely they will find their way into check positions if allowed to as the dominance and control part would appeal to them, but the success of the candidate would be completely nothing they care for. They DO NOT make good checkers or trainers at all, as winning is the driver so even if they are wrong they will push their line in spite of safety and will just make stuff up and lie to cover up deficiencies in their own knowledge.

Its also very hard to diagnose in the young, basically not manifesting properly until early adulthood and getting worse as you age. So selecting employees too young can also lead to a few in the ranks as well.

All came to a head last Sunday when GL’s JQ cabin crew wife confronted him about the murder in their Caroline springs home (which has been bugged for months), GL left to go hang himself. No doubt cops have been holding out trying to build their case but had to pounce before it got too late. Sold the trailer on gumtree mid last year. Ex wife’s autopsy showed high levels of alcohol in blood, which according to friends was unusual for her, cops may reopen this case also.

Agree.

However I wasn’t talking about the interaction with Pax!

In what world is a pilot not a highly skilled professional? Let me guess, (if you are a pilot) your the type that loves to brag to everyone about how easy your job is and that you practically do nothing etc. Buy your first to whinge about the lack of respect you receive from management and the amount you are paid. Nothing narcissistic about the post at all.

You just never know, I had a work friend who was a Senior FO at a large airline, he killed himself by standing in front of a train. It turned out he had just been in court and had name suppression lifted. He had been charged with multiple accounts of child abuse which he carried out during long haul trips around the world working as an ambassador for the airline in orphanages. No one at work knew anything about it or that he had been cautioned 2 weeks before and that he was in fact arrested in the work car park. people kept saying ‘he was such a nice bloke’. No body knows what goes on in other people’s worlds. Pilots are not immune to having the odd psycho in their ranks.

We get paid for the job and for the responsibility associated with it… piss off if you think otherwise.

I take it this is just your personal theory and not some inside info that you have access to? The media were showing security camera footage of him greeting his neighbours last Sunday, certainly didn't look like a man who was going to run off to commit suicide the next day, unless this confrontation with his wife is supposed to have happened afterwards.

Nowhere near as cut and dried as "sociopaths are made and psychopaths are born". There's been plenty of work done that suggests hereditary links for antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy), just as there's been work done on the impact of environmental factors in psychopathy.

I posted on a previous thread alas the thread was closed down. Hopefully not because of what I said. I assume not as I did not receive any cautionary PM's from a moderator.
I knew the pilot many years ago, he is an agro person and a loner. Mind you it all depends in which context you know the person.
I always believed the coroner erred in his decision on the death of the said pilot's first wife. But the coroner can only base his decision on the information placed before him.
Or her. Assuming their are female coroners.
