Absolutely true, in South America a pilot is top of the food chain, way above doctors and lawyers. And flight attendants are required to be HOT!
 
No wonder.

Have 'ANY' US airline crew stand next to Lufthansa crew (flight attendants and pilots) and you will figure out why that is so!

(Let's not even talk about the level of their skills, knowledge, expertise, and service, and what it takes to become a Lufthansa crew).

Lol not sure if serious. Here's a video of the "skill" of a 400 hour wonder for Lufthansa nearly killing everyone because of crosswind.

If that is true... that a 400 hr pilot was flying, then the captain was not very smart by letting the FO land in that much X-wind.

It's well documented that the 24 year old female FO was at the controls for that landing (look up LH044).

I agree that the CA's decision to let that FO attempt a landing in those conditions is baffling.

However, the point of it was to refute that guy's ridiculous statement that Lufthansa somehow has better pilots then US airlines.
 
Why shouldn't he let the female land the plane? She is a pro pilot isn't she? What if the captain had too many schnitzels and had a heart attack? Who'll land the plane?? Too many captains don't trust themselves enough to let the FO learn something.
