NG defending the company is honourable but you may want to re-consider your input next time. Deriding QF is not in the spirit and has nothing to do with one of our a/c running off the rwy in DN.
The incident was a mess.. end of story...Procedures were not followed and a blatant lack of procedural compliance displayed. The Captain is now a career F/O as a result.
I can assure readers of this forum there are no "cultural" issues with this type of behaviour. Most pilot's do as required and follow SOP's (as they do in most Western airlines). I do not want to cast aspertions or vilify the individuals involved. I will not however defend the indefensible. We have to take this one on the chin and get on with it.
