There but for the grace of god go we all.
It was a screw up but as always, there were many factors that aligned to make this event possible.
Its worth remembering that you didnt need to have worked for AN to have been exposed to the " TOGA TAP ".
This " procedure " had been trained throughout the introduction of the A 320 into JQ service. The pityfull amount of training that ALL recieved in those days and diluted SOPS directly led to this occurrence.
It is worth noting that the operating crew did have the common DF to get themselves out of bad situation. Learning experience for all? Definitely. First time a mode awerness issue has happened in Aus? Definately not.
All while the CEO was telling us how he liked painting rocks.
MCD.
