Mr Arrse
As Ark Royal and countless others have stated the matter is all about proof of cause.
There is no proof that Flt Lts Tapper and Cook were negligent. The balance of evidence suggests that if one had to ascribe blame that mechanical failure is the more likely culprit than pilot error. Read the recent reports again and you will see what I mean.
A finding of pilot error in this case does not require great courage. Rather it suggests the opposite. Its attraction is that it diverts attention from the real issues and if one were fearing heavy claims claims for negligence it puts a handy intervening cause into the equation.
I think the pursing of hypotheses, asumptions and specualtions about what the the two pilots might have done or not have done is a slight to their memory and to the families.
There is no evidence to support such comments.
