Sometimes I'm amused, sometimes I'm concerned, when someone suggests they LEARNT to fly on whatever A/C. The word learnt, is past tense. It gives the impression, after one learnt, there is no more learning to be had. Is this correct? We continue to learn until the day we die, do we not? Whatever we are doing.
Not trying to be clever and some may think this is irrelevant to this thread. I say it is relevent because clearly this crew learnt a very bitter leeson at the end, taking almost 100 poor soles with them. One crew member with 17,000 hours.
It was CAVOK with nothing to obstruct the flight, yet they flew the damned thing into the ground. The a/c had the most up to date automation etc., etc. This concerns me a great deal.
