Yes we did have a guy land at the wrong airport , DEC hired guy out of IOE , and the guy had nearly 9,000 hours in a Saab.....
Proves the post earlier written, total time does not add up to the sole reason a guy should upgrade . I have flown with guys that had thousands that should not upgrade anytime soon , and then again I have flown with guys that have maybe 1000 hours that were awesome aviators and great thinkers .....
It's not just a staffing bid and 1500 hours for some folks .....

Flew with the FA from that flight a few weeks ago. Apparently, the guy's reaction on realizing what had happened was "we'll, there goes my job in the training department..." No joke. Still tried to be CA Macho after a screwup like that. He's probably driving forklifts now.

Bro... bro... He's being facetious 
The point he's trying to make is that there were two guys in the cockpit that night.
