here is a point of reference for the DEI pilot advocates
it's the true story of a boeing 767 that ran out of fuel at 41,000 in the middle of nowhere
the pilot had 50,000 hours of flight time, and he flew gliders as a hobby
he managed to fly a massive 767 deadstick w/ no instruments to an abandoned airstrip and safely land with no casualties
the whole show is worth watching as it demonstrates the staggering amount of skill required to overcome the fueling fuck-up
anyone who thinks a 26 yr old blonde bimbo is just as qualified as a 50 yr old with more yrs flying than she has breathing can fly with her
i'll take the old white male pilot, thank you very much
the series, "Mayday" has lots of episodes devoted to flights that were NOT so lucky
and most crashes were shown to be due to PILOT INCOMPETENCE
