Yes, this pilot did a good job of course, and I don't envy him having to deal with his coworker going berserk, but I thought that successfully landing a properly-functioning aircraft was a fairly routine and expected part of the job.
Routine?Yes, when you're doing it in a simulator, or both of you are sitting in your chairs discussing the latest screw up by a so called celebrity. But when you are alone, and you boss is yelling his head off behind a door that he is trying to beat down, you then hear a lot of commotion behind the door as your passengers are now wrestling with you now soon to be former boss, all the while you are wondering what is going on, talking with center, and getting ready to land a jet by your self. I would hardly called that routine.
thats true. did you see capt in uniform. on the video.
ohhhh gotta love the ole days of flying!where one paying attention,and saved the ship,buy catching on to a Capt flaming out,deserves to be promoted!!!
Did you call the Captain a flamer???

No, he probably has more than enough to be a captain.
