C-5's are really considered a garbage truck?

I know the B1 pilot. He's one of my good friend's brother in law.


That's pretty cool. It's a small world afterall.

I have a different take. Was nice of the B-1 pilot to offer, but sorry, there is reason for a 1st Officer/Copilot. She has an ATR & 737 type rating. If she felt she needed help to get it on the ground safely, she should not be in the cockpit. Her actions say she is certainly not ready for the left seat. I would not be surprised if their is a reprimand for her decision to let a passenger in the cockpit. Just an opinion from a former ATR-CFI.

I see it as a precautionary move. Two heads (pilots with similar capabilities, especially with souls on board) are always better than one. The co-pilot was now under duress with old faithful suddenly gone from the left seat. Can't be too safe.
