It’s Baltimore. What are the odds that the pilot was some union/DEI hire who usually slept through the transit? Once again, I know nothing about ships or bridges.

I have no knowledge of east coast pilot assn's, but having had many opportunities to get to know pilots in the Puget Sound marine operations..they are unquestionably the best of the best. Piloting is the very pinnacle of experience, ability and cool thoughtful command under pressure. The chronyism that the bicycle cop Barnard referred to is one of the best features of the pilot hierarchy...they do not suffer fools or the incompetent for one instant...they clean their ranks long before any mishap.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
