Give the guy a break.
Yes, I would give the guy a
long break....in jail.
Everyone lived to tell the tale
....
small comfort....kind of like saying its ok the pilot penetrated a severe thunderstorm, cause the wings didnt break off and we lived...this time..
even if he didnt follow every procedure in the book,his airmanship saved the day.
Not following procedures and mismangement of your fuel situation I would class as
lack of airmanship . His
ass saved the day. Would I have coped better? Yes. By not opening the crossfeed valve. Quite simple really...
Jokers like this should be held accountable for their negligence.
