Professional pilots in aircraft that can do at least 250 knots for the check mate.

Southwest pilots are my pesonal favorites. They dont sit on runways building courage, they see airports 40 miles out, they turn their plane with the yoke and not a knob, they see the traffic they are following at their 9 o'clock - 3 miles, and they do what they are told when they are told to do it. Rare qualities these days.

Back in the day, every air carrier had a personality. Pan Am pilots were the consumate professionals and everyone knew it. They were the best trained and had the best equipment. They exhuded that calm confidence that that never became conceit. They were simply the best there was. As hard as they tried, the competition never quite maintained the same reputation.
