It's not just Fox. At least FNC is interviewing actual pilots. They've got an active CA and an FAA guy on right now.

It's been horrible across the board. You think MSNBC is doing it better?

The guy I wrote about had long since run out of Prostan silver bullets.
ProStans does good work when dealing with something that is not safety of flight related. But, the person getting the call has to be receptive.

Bruce Pearl is hardly a "great one."

Plus, guys who use "Faux" TV as a common sequitur probably think Rachel Maddow is hot.......

The poor Captains get to deal with "Fumes".

I had my one experience with the "Hermanator". What an a$$. I actually just put my seat all the way back and my feet up on the foot rests. Didn't say a word until a checklist was required.

Only later did I find out he was infamous. If I ever fly with that jerkoff again we will have a closed door brief where he shuts his pie-hole and listens to me. If he screws up even a teenie tiny bit were heading to pro-stans. I will not let this jerk treat a new-hire the way he "tried" to treat me.

He asked a question and I gave him the answer. He didn't believe me so he started a three-way call with dispatch and the duty pilot. Shortly after the call ended and ACARS message came through. The message stated, "your FO is right". No $hit sherlock!!!! Our FO's, myself included, have a couple decades experience before we show up here. That guy is a major tool!!!!! This was just the first thing he did. This tool didn't even know that you could have the localizer set off of the actual course and still fly it straight down the pipe. He was all worked up over a recent runway redesignation that was 2 degrees different than the ILS course. I turned mine 30 degrees off and showed him my centered needle. Duh!!

The icing on the cake was when we landed in fog and he missed not one but TWO taxiways. I told him both times but he shushed me, pointing his finger in my face. F U you jerk. I finally told him he could get lost on his own, in the fog, in MKE.

Later I flew with a 4th floor bubba. I told him, without names, about my experience. He stated, "you must've flown with the Hermanator". Yup. We have an extensive file on him.

Why the H E double hockey sticks do we not fire people like this. New-hire's do not deserve to deal with this turkey.

Flew 2 trips with the Hermanator when I was on the Maddog. Later flew with a former CP. He says the CPO has a "top five" list. Guess who's number 1?
