At every airport, the "old timers" can tell you, after the
fact that they knew "George was going to kill somebody" but
the unwritten rule is to never speak badly about a fellow
aviator.


What unwritten rule? We had one guy lose his judgmental ability and
quite a few of the local pilots had a talk with the FAA. He wrecked
three planes with one that seriously injured himself and another
pilot. The FAA grounded him over that and with the past history and
pilot input he was done.

Few of us would report some one for hotdogging (within reason), but
when they appear to be of the "he's gonna kill some body" most around
here would speak up. If's he's gonna kill himself that's just
Darwinism.


If there are any student pilots reading this, not all
instructors are any good at all. Not all commercial pilots
are skilled and not all ATPs have good moral character or
ethics.

We have one very highly thought of, award winning instructor on the
field that I refuse to fly with.
