Maybe a bit of SIM training events may have picked this up?

Seems Boeing are way behind the 8 ball on the reports released in the last week - Good chance they are also well behind the 8 on training required.

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy is a very big understatement it seems.

What news will tomorrow bring?
