“He wasn’t that great of a pilot. He sure didn’t notice a massive flock of birds headed his way.”

I said he was a GOOD pilot, not a great pilot. And avoiding a flock of birds on take-off is very difficult, especially with a 737.

Pilots do it every day.

If I am not mistaken, I think he was flying an A-320.
