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!

Stop flitting like Pete Buttigieg. The female pilot was in control of the jet when it crashed. She is 26 years old and a former beauty queen. She had no business being in the cockpit of that jet, let alone executing a landing. Women have slower reactions than men do, They are far more likely to panic in situations that men do not panic in. You can scream “misogyny“ all you want. You are the freaking idiot. By the way, the “ultimate responsibility“ argument you are making, and which the Canadian officials are making, is total bullshit. She somehow obtained a pilots license and a pilot should be able to land a plane. So the “pilot in command“ screwed up because he allowed a licensed pilot to land a plane? In the last three months, we have witnessed three incidents involving female pilots. The crash we are talking about in Canada. The female helicopter pilot who caused a crash in Washington DC. And just recently at LaGuardia in New York, a female pilot damn near crashed a jet in turbulent, windy weather, scraping her wing on the runway before aborting a landing.
