Calling someone an idiot really shows a lot of maturity. The “pilot in charge” is the pilot who is operating the controls of the plane, which was the female pilot. Second, the fact that she crashed and flipped an airplane seems to back up by point that she was completely unqualified to fly any commercial jet. Third, the commentator is a former navy pilot, not a commercial pilot. Accordingly, his expertise as to protocol of a commercial flight is questionable.

If you ARE an idiot, you deserve to be called one!

There is no title “Pilot in charge”. It is “Pilot in COMMAND”. Writing as a former WSO (rated as a navigator) with a few thousand hours in F-4s & F-111s, I often was FLYING the jet but NEVER the PILOT, let alone the “pilot in command”!

Per the FAA: “Pilot Responsibility and Authority
The pilot-in-command of an aircraft is directly responsible for and is the final authority as to the operation of that aircraft.”

You really ARE an idiot and need to give your misogyny a rest!
