Ornis, you are a hypocrite.
You state
I don't care to apportion blame.
..yet in post#33 you say
Before Easter I emailed the NZALPA to ask what proportion of members believed Collins was blameless. I await an answer. Actually, I don't: I already know the answer, more or less.
Those who think Collins blameless should ask themselves why airliners have pilots. To sit on fat wallets in fancy dress, a charade to please bored passengers? To deal with events and problems computers are not human-like enough to solve, perhaps?
Care to comment?
