Worst aviation article of the week

Apparently, the pilot was so distracted by this kid being in the cockpit that it screwed up ATCs ability to provide traffic separation.

Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before?
Joey: No sir, I've never been up in a plane before.
Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?
Captain Oveur: Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
Captain Oveur: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
 
I wonder if this guy forgot he was not at his part-time job of writing for The Onion.

'climb, climb, climb 10,000ft, you are going to hit a plane'.

That's a heck of a climb to avoid another plane

"It was terrifying. People were blessing themselves."

Perhaps 'messing themselves' would've been a more correct choice of words here if things were actually as bad as they sound.
 
I love this comment:
I flew back on Air france from Paris about two months ago. The flight was HORRIBLE. I'm more than certain this was the same pilot.
 
A non-funded OJT flight? Or, have they started them much younger for IOE?
