Clearly your definition of a decade differs from mine if you are including events prior to 2009.
I'm in no way defending Air Niugini (or LINK which was the operator of the Mendi aircraft), but trying to pin pilot error on the Mendi 'event' is far fetched. Probably also the landing gear event at Lae and the Mount Hagen mercury leak event.
Anyway, back to the 737 event...………….
Agreed I should have added that it is far fetched to involve Pilot error as one of the contributing factors to all but two or maybe three of those hull losses (ATR in Madang ????)
However the word hull losses has been thrown around and by definition those are the ones PX have had.
They certainly have not lost 5 hulls in the past decade which was the point I was trying to highlight.
I note that the government of the FSM has been quoted in the press as saying that they consulting with US Authorities re the investigation into the accident at Chuuk . One can only live in hope that a proper investigation is carried out Not a white wash and cover up .
