But I know from reading all your postings that you wouldn't represent yourself like this either. It's common decency, respect, sympathy and/or just not wanting to get your name in print until you're sure of your facts - maybe we're just showing our age?
I find a photo of the captain, with the accompanying text claiming he panicked, with this allegation unsupported by anything representing a fact, deeply offensive.
He's at it again today, claiming amongst other things, that all Boeing acceptances are completed by the customer (he's basing this on his EK B777 experience I assume). That's not right - certainly a significant number of B737 acceptances, i.e. acceptance test flight(s), are completed by Boeing alone. The customer turns up and simply take their aeroplane away. He also seems critical of a Mayday being declared in the first three minutes of the doomed flight - how the hell can he possibly know - right now - what was going on on that flight deck????
PM sent (not about this subject).
Cheers!
