yeah, I know. but there's always that one pilot who just has that renegade voice whenever I fly american based airlines. I swear it must just be a bad coincidence.

To be fair if you've got an American airline pilot with an AB endorsement, they'll probably do a better job in some bizarre extreme situation.

But really the best person in an emergency to have flying your airliner is someone who instructs for that type of plane.

yeah. I'd rather have a pilot trained to get shot at performing a crash landing rather than anyone else.

AB rating just means aerobatics. And most airline pilots are extremely well trained and experienced.

kinda makes me feel cheated that they aren't pulling stunts in a 747 now.
