I've had it up to my third chin with you pilots.... You're coming in on your day off to fly MCI-DDC-GCK-DDC-MCI-LIT-MCI. Then we need you to ferry to PFN. I know its a 22 hour day, but you're doing it.

They're the ones who had the Beech 1900 elevator problem in CLT that resulted in a crash into the USAirways hangar in, what, 2003 maybe? That caused the FAA to change the "standard" weights
It also had a lot to do with the female pilot freaking out in mid flight and not doing what was needed at the time. A nice little 60-90 degree bank would have killed enought lift to bring the nose down and just repeat the cycle until the problem was solved. A captain on an american 767 a few years back had the same thing happen and since he had previous aerobatic experience, and also thought logically instead of "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm gonn die!!!" emotional and irrational thinking that has no room in aviation, every one on that flight lived. They all puked on each other as a result of the wing overs in the massive bird.

The problem was that the elevator was rigged wrong and after they left the ground they were pretty much along for the ride. Female/male had nothing to do with it.
