Oh, don't get me wrong, in hindsight their decision-making was rather less than optimal (and that's putting it lightly).Thermal wrote:But Yorden, during my ATPL studies our instructors learned us something called "common sense"It's in no book or JAR OPS. Yet strangly most pilots know how to use it. Apparently these two (atleast the captain) did not.
But hindsight is always 20/20, and it's just that people seem to want to point the finger/give someone the blame/rush to judgement. So seeing as the two people being accused are dead (which I'm certain wasn't their plan), I feel the need to defend them against those sort of accusations.
All of the many factors that played a part in this crash will come out in the final report, and as always the goal is to learn from these factors to try and prevent them from playing a part in any future accidents.
