Southwest 1380: think about the flight attendants
Egotistical tone to this article... good explanation of procedures on an airliner but for background the author of the blog post made a boat load of money on Web 1.0 and fancies himself as a pilot.  It's way too easy for a part-timer like him to pretend this was no big deal and he could have done it too.<p>He writes this article with a tone of jealousy or something that the captain is taking too much credit or didn't really have a hard job or something.<p>The captain of the SW plane didn't even want to be identified, the press took care of that.   The fact that the rest of the crew wasn't identified doesn't mean the captain is taking too much credit or that everyone thinks the rest of the crew didn't do a great job too.<p>No reason for him to try and take the captain down in his post, a simpler blog post praising the rest of the crew would have been better.<p>If you were looking for it you could probably claim an element of sexism too since he's acting like the co-pilot isn't getting any credit because he's a man.  That probably takes a reader who was predisposed to that viewpoint though.
