Good for the brothers for recognizing the pilots were incompetent and deciding to drive to their destination. They saved their lives by refusing to continue flying with these pilots.
@Hana.Behl-Lecter
Imagine having such a bad flight you decide to drive instead of getting back on the plane, then finding out the plane you were supposed to be on crashed and killed everyone on board. Gotta be the absolute worst mix of relief and utter horror.
@brianhaygood183
Stellar display of incompetence. Our society is plagued by an unwillingness to tell people "no" and flunk them out of anything.
@user-Kim-n4f
You know it had to be bad if the passengers refused to get back on the plane. This is a perfect example of always listen to your gut.
@donnazivny4134
Those 2 pilots shouldn't have even been in a car together let alone a plane. Very sad
@jimguida604
I am a flight instructor and professor at Florida Tech, at what point does the āsystemā kick out incompetent pilots. Repeated check rides failures need to be signals for a more serious valuation and frequent follow-ups of individuals.

I started PPL training at 18. Logged quite a few hours, completed solo cross countries etc, but after one or two disastrous mistakes I knew I did not have what it took to be a pilot. Fast forward to last Monday. My son Tom got the news heād been waiting for and was accepted in the Air Force pilot training program. He worked for this to the point of obsession. So proud. He already has a PPL and instrument rating so I guess he is fulfilling my dream!
@Toupac1029
I knew early on I did not have what it takes to be a pilot. Its difficult to abandon a dream, but designing and building planes worked out very well.
@yellowduck8061
Jeff was terrified knowing the one person who could have helped, ignored him. Wow.š
@someguyinphoenix1876
Iām a flight attendant for a major and the fact that there are this level of incompetent pilots in the air is DISTURBING
@Kincentc
I'm not sure it was ego as much as it was pure ignorance. "We're hundreds of miles away!" On a 80 mile flight? The spacial awareness is insane....
@Ray_treks
If you are on approach and behind the aircraft, there are two magical words that can give you all the time you need: āGo Aroundā Deeply frustrating watching this needless tragedy unfold. Great breakdown as always!
@tatata1543
āDidnāt know how to start the enginesā. Bit of a red flag there I would think.
@edadan
āBeing a pilot is not for everyoneā. Absolutely true. I learned this many years ago when a friend got his pilotās license the same time that I did. He did exceptionally well on the written tests, flight planning and even flying the aircraft. However, his decision making skills, especially under stress, were very poor.
@the12505
I canāt even get a no thank you call on my resume with being a former military pilot and these guys get such an awesome job just handed to them. Very lucky (at the time) or just the right connections I guess.
@hughjarse4205
"Flew inverted on the unusual attitude module" is the most insane thing I've seen on this channel.
@dspatchin
Hard call to cancel a flight and drive...that landing in Philly must have been scary. Saved their lives.
@owenkittredge3433
I grew up in the USAF but realized at an early age (about 13) i did not have the type of brain for the details of flying. In the 60s we did not know what ADHD was but saw in myself that could not handle the details / focus needed for piloting an aircraft. I was always getting distracted by what is outside the windows. We all need to recognize our weak spots and stay away from them.
@tiffinyanderson4403
As a former FA Iām shocked but I shouldnāt be. This was ridiculous. Jeff asked for help and Will had the management skills and flying skills of my chocolate Labrador.
