If he still flies let me know so I can avoid that airline. Or at
least any plane he is piloting.

... I choose
not to fly with someone who makes such a deadly mistake.

Oh, God! Can the self-righteous blather, please!! What are you going to
do? Every time you book a flight, ask to see the crew's flight record? Get
names and socials so you can do your own internet research? Crap! You're
not going to do jack! Its all talk. Fact is, you aren't going to choose or
not choose. When you plan a trip you get on the plane like everyone else,
and you don't have any freakin' idea who's flying the plane. You think
they're all firm-jawed, steely-eyed war heroes? Guess again, Kemosabe!
Ever heard the advice about never visiting the kitchen at your favorite
restaurant? Well, the same applies to your favorite airline, too. They're
humans, just like us all, with all the warts and bumps that go with it.
Remember a few years ago when there was all the talk about arming cockpit
crews? Why do you think so many pilots were opposed to the idea? Because
they know their friends! That's why! "Let me know so I can avoid that
airline" -- what a crock!
