This must have been written before the DFDR and cockpit tape analysis.
Funny how they're using Hoot's experience to defend the knucklehead FO on
Egypt Air.

I agree that rushing to snap judgments on a mishap is mostly bad, but this

I just grabbed a link referring to the 727 dive and didn't see the
author was making a grand logic leap about the Egypt Air...
Elm's 72 is pretty sporty....Besides the 727 LOOKS like it goes fast.
