Commercial Pilot Weighs In on SFO Crash
Video - Commercial Pilot Weighs In on Asiana Airlines Crash in San Francisco - WSJ.com
This "commercial pilot" is embarrassing....it would be funny if it was not so sad.
Watch this video if you want any insight as to why industry managers feel they can erode pilot's terms and conditions. What was that derogatory term Rod Eddington used to describe pilots....?
Judging from this guy's inability to string together a coherent sentence one wonders how he manages to string together an ILS approach?
You sense that even the interviewer was having trouble understanding what he was trying to say.
Introduced as a 777 pilot he corrects the interviewer and states "FYI I'm not a 777 pilot". After a minute or two you are left wondering what airplane he does fly as he suggests that as SFO has long runways a pilot will typically aim for the middle of the runway....?
Or his inability to explain how an approach over water is no particular threat also left the interviewer bewildered.

Commercial Pilot Weighs In on SFO Crash
And don't forget "THEY" interviewed David Learmouth for his opinion on the airport terminal bridge collapse at CDG some years back. Why? Well because he's an aviation expert! And they had another clown (sorry expert) Chris somebody state on the BBC live after the Spantax Madrid DC9 (MD80?) crash on takeoff (no flaps?) that losing an engine on these twins on takeoff means there's no chance of survival. I even called the BBC on that. Outrageous statement from any pilot let alone an "expert" !

Yeah I often come in high and fast in my 777 when the runway is long. It gives me that safety barrier so I don't stall and undershoot the approach!
What a MONUMENTAL WALLY
By his logic they should place the glideslope half way down the runway
