Thank God there was a QAR on board that aircraft or else we would have never known the truth about how close that came to being a crash.

For Westjet to declare this a "non incident" and allow both the DFDR and CVR to be erased just proves you can not hold a company to police itself.

I would like to know why if the crew had no visual contact with the runway and had no visual height reference above the water, why they did not one of the pilots (PNF) monitor the Rad Alt and why it took a minimum of two EGWPS warnings before they decided to go around?

Finally now that the truth came out thanks to the QAR, what did Westjet do to the pilots and what steps have they taken for this not to happen again?
