I just wanted to clarify. After it was clear we were far too high, and to fast to land at SAN, the pilot took further aggressive action: sharply turning the plane upward and increasing speed aggressively. We looped around for a second, far slower pass, and landed correctly. I was scared out of my mind at this point: I felt the pilot was a newbie that had never landed at San Diego before. Frankly, the whole flight I was thinking our pilot was some hot shot fresh off a carrier, the flight seemed so aggressive compared to any others I've been on in recent memory.

I get enough of that behavior on the freeway guys: not desireable in the air.
