ups.com... Thomas wrote: Because he didn't intervene earlier. Seems obvious... Isn't there a well-documented cockpit phenomenon that occurs when coupling a very green pilot with a very experienced pilot, something about the inexperienced one being afraid to point out the mistakes of the experienced one? Plus, the passenger wasn't even a pilot yet. And there's no evidence that he *didn't* point out the PIC's mistakes. --Gary |

Good example of "eating our own." After reading your "eating our own" comment, I would be interested in your response to AOPA's news and newspaper ad that will be running in today's USA Today (US newspaper): http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsite...50517adiz.html Based on my interpretation of this article, it seems that even AOPA is distancing themselves from this pilot. -- Peter |

Interesting ad.
2 paragraphs on what happened. 7 paragraphs on what AOPA does. 1 paragraph saying the system works. 1 paragraph saying lots of nice people are pilots. Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

All the chatter has died down and ad is the last thing people will see on the subject and that is what they will remember. Do it too soon and it gets lost in the noise. |
