Jump to postThat MLG doesn't help. The 757 is much easier to "grease". This type of incident has happened before. The crease is always in about the same place.

WOW was doing very well at BWI. Also, it seemed like everyone I knew back in Pittsburgh flew WOW to Iceland. When they added the A330, things tanked. Slow and steady to start will be good for them. This group seems to have capable minds and funding to make this work.

Just that word of caution on what you wish for. Expensive pilots opens the door to more automation in the cockpit using artificial intelligence, leading to 1-pilot cockpits, and eventually to fully automated aircraft cockpits.
