[Rhodes22-list] FW: Young Pilot, Old Pilot _This is good_(For the Pilots on the List)

[Philip]

When I was a young Marine we were taught to call the Army helicopter pilots
because they were young Warrant Officers (Marine pilots were all Officers)
who knew they could always get another aircraft if something broke and would
take more chances.  The Marine Pilots were taught to take better care of
their aircraft because new ones weren't available.

Brad,

In the Army, pilots range in rank from Warrant Officer One (WO1) to
Chief/Master Warrant Officer 5 (CW5 or MW5).  You learned early on that the
most dangerous pilots to fly with were the CW2.  The WO1 were still in the
learning mode and hadn't gotten the courage to try something stupid.  The
CW3 and above had survived doing something stupid.  The CW2 however, was
real confident of his flying skills and hadn't yet done something stupid
that caused an incident.  These were the guys who were most prone to
crashing.
