| Summary | The Wall Street Journal reports on many pilots' lack of basic training, resulting in poor flying skills. The story describes a incident with an United Airlines jumbo jet with 307 passengers and crew, which barely missed apartments and houses in San Francisco before safely returning to the airport. The incident was publicly disclosed much later, but there are other "close calls" that remain undisclosed. |
