This forum that is supposed to be about building and flying Lancairs has
certainly taken a turn for the worse.  I thought may as well contribute to
the garbage.
I have learned one thing from this thread.  That is that airline pilots as a
group have very sensitive egos.  I have a lot of respect for all
professional pilots but I am not convinced that they walk on water.  I am
reminded of a case a few years ago were a boarding passenger inquired if the
pilots were sober.  The flight was cancelled.  Was this for safety reasons
or sensitive egos?
Questions for all you airline pilots and all retired airline pilots:  Would
you report a fellow pilot who you suspected of drinking and flying?  Are
airline pilots doing a better job of policing their own ranks now?

I think that beating up on Terrence via this forum was totally not called
for.

"-- there is clearly something going on that needs evaluation."  Could it be
the egos of the airline pilots?
