Guy's
The guy wrote in the tech log there is a report of a bird on the right engine/wing.
So it's pretty obvious why he decided to go back.
But the decision to go back is why some of us bang our heads against the wall , as I'm sure the company are doing ,
When you have a report of ice on the wing ,You don't just run back to the stand . You walk back and check it out . Then make a decision .
This guy is returning to stand from a report . His words in writing . This is shocking.
Using common sense, you might come to the conclusion that this bird will just fly away once we get moving. If people start going back to the stand for this crap then the world of aviation had gone mad.
If that was a sim , guess what - you fail. Anyway a laughable scenario that is beyond the thinking of crazy examiners.
EK has unfortunately bred these types of people through training (checking ) and fear . There is no excuse on earth for this decision in my opinion and what the hell was the other so called pilot doing.
Also a video has surfaced of this dinosaur of a bird . If one went back to see this prehistoric beast , they may have made a more sensible decision. (It was the size of a small pigeon sitting on top of the engine)
