Big Pistons Forever & englishal
Seems a bit wrong placing blame and assigning cause without any evidence.
Lets forget spanish or non-british pilots being an issue as stated you dont need english to read numbers on an insturment and also all JAR pilots must have some degree of ability to speak english as this is now tested so not an issue.
but you dont know whats gone on, you dont know if ATC advised the crew of a improvment in weather you dont know if there was a malfunction all the "facts" reported are from the media who lets face it arnt pilots. and also we all know that what a metar states and what is the actual can be very different.
So it seems a little insensitve this soon after a tragic accident where lives were lost that you go finger pointing at crew and poor flying when you have no facts above whats gone on.
I dont want to gloss over whats been a sad event but there needs to be time to asses whats happened before conculsions are made. Not based on stats of other accidents or what we think.
