I love that beast. My favorite bird!
I got my PPL in 1998 and my CPL in 2001.
Flown C172, PA28, PA34, PA23, PA31, C550, Fokker 50, Saab 340 and A320.
Got laid off due to Covid.
Now working in IT since I also have a degree in Civil Engineering (Master of Science) and been working part time in that field for āfunāeven during my pilot years.

Always good to see airline pilots still fly in private. When looking into past accident reports, I see so many accidents where experienced airline pilots forgot how to fly their planeā¦

Why so aggressive? I based my argument on some crash investigations.
For example:
Air France 447
Turkish Airlines 1951
No itĀ“s not stupid. The Tristar Flight 401 and many more flights crashed because the pilots forgot to look at the speed or height or variometer gauge.

Those were just the ones that popped into my mind immediatly. There are many more where experienced airline pilots somehow forgot basics that you learn in the first hours of flight school. Like energy management, observing your basic instruments and āfly the planeā ā¦
Apparently you have zero knowledge about recurrent training etc etc.
What you do think airline pilots are doing e.g. during the simulator check flights?
Furthermore your derogatory comment was completely OT.

Yes, itās OT and I also donāt see any point in arguing with someone who clearly only looks for confrontation, so letās leave it as is.
A very good idea.
Btw. Iām not looking for confrontation. I simply dislike it if people with zero knowledge are badmouthing a whole group of professional pilots.
