I can’t recall another accident, except for Cork, where you can’t identify the owner/operator of the aircraft and there are so many people shaking their heads saying ‘Nothing to do with me’.
I’m not sure I am following you here: there is only one person in charge and it’s the pilot. He can always say “no”.
Also I would be interested to know more about the second, much more experienced pilot, that alledgedely decided to not go with them at the last minute (after passing Nantes’ airport controls.)
