I dont know a single pilot that believes he was not trained. He actually said he could land but the would “rough him up” . This is as weird as the las vegas lies we were told.
You’re right, it’s not only weird but bizarre as well. That’s why I am wondering if someone slipped him some kind of mind altering drug to give him the uncontrolled desire to take a joy ride on a commercial plane.
Unless I missed it, I saw nothing to suggest he had personal or professional problems to the extent he would snap like this.
I just mentioned it because it didn’t look like anyone else was considering it.
