Indeed quite an indictment to the leadership. Especially the part
about him keeping his job as Chief Stan Eval.
I've never been a pilot myself (damn my eyes), but I think it would
give me a very weird/awkward feeling to have a guy as my Stan Eval who
shows ..well.. how NOT to adhere to standards. Teaching/evaluating
people how to the job but not doing it yourself is not the way to get
your students listening to you.

Very much so. It really ticked me off to see such an abject lack of
leadership, especially when younger officers started emulating Lt Col
Holland's example. I'm only a Flight Test Engineer and my aircrew
experience is limited, but standards and T.O. limits are there for
reasons and shouldn't be violated at the drop of a hat.

The thing that got to me the most was the OG and Wing leadership's
failure to hold Holland to the same standards the other pilots were
expected to adhere to. I spent my last assignment as a maintenance
officer and was twice a flight commander. While not the same level of
responsibility as those in this incident, I learned really quickly that
if I didn't walk the talk my 150 maintainers wouldn't either.
Additionally, I learned that not applying the standards equally would
lead to them not being followed.

chuckle If you are using outlook express, there is a way to set it to
check spelling before sending, automatically.

You have to have Microsoft Word on your system for it to work as OE uses
Word's spell-checker engine.

Not true. Google for something like "outlook express spell checker," or
"spell checker replacement," and you will find one to download that will
work just as well.
