Quite a lot to take in here. A turbo prop ace pontificating on long haul lifestyles and tragic events without any real idea of the facts or people involved nor the issues beggars belief even by modern standards. Sounds a fun addition to the team: good luck with the EK line trainers...
Having worked both sides of the runways, I completely concur with okc and the lack of transparency with the Rostov tragedy. Any hope of an honest report have probably gone. Sad on so many levels.
