How much does this illustrate the gap in competency in pilots between major airlines and the regional commuter world? Or is it just an outlier?

There must be some correlation between salary and competency.  My co-worker's husband is a UPS veteran pilot, who (though she's never been specific) must make six figures-plus to fund their lifestyle, and he's been with them for 13 years I think, and prior to that was a C-130 pilot in the Coast Guard.

Regional airlines. What an interesting concept.

This is going to become a case study in pilot training.
And damages lawsuits. :P

She's too old for him.  You know what MB loves about high school girls and child brides?  He gets older, but they stay the same age.

I would screw up the landing at the last minute so that we had to circle around and try again.  :boff:
