..but couldn't fly the jet to save his rear.

So what is new about that?

Because nowadays you're expected to be able to do the basics coming out of
Formal Training. You're evaluation at the end of Formal Training consists
(for
the co-pilot) of both a precision and non-precision approach, one missed
approach and a landing. This guy struggled with all of these.



Guess you guys had a lot more time for training than we did. The hotter the
war the faster you go into action. (sigh)
