So SCPL 1988, anymore assertions about the sub standard maintenance of the aeroplane or Coulson wheeling and dealing to save money? Awfully quiet now huh.
If this does end up being a CFIT event, any self respecting aviator who thinks less of the crew is kidding themselves. Flying a large aeroplane that close to the ground, in such terrible weather, zero prep time on the place you're going to apart from during the cruise enroute. Must be bloody tough work and as Compressor Stall said, speaks volumes of the ability and professionalism of the guys and girls that take to the skies each day to fight that fight. I suspect with the CVR recovered etc it won't take long for an interim report to be released.
