And they say White men can't jump...to stupid conclusions.
What a load of bollocks.
Read the report and crawl back into your hole. In fact, this report should be compulsory reading for anyone who is involved in aviation.
1. A/C was pressurised before anyone on the flight deck was aware there may have been a strike.
2. They continued to HK after they were convinced by all the facts and by ops in HK that their assessment, that there was strong likelihood of a strike, was wrong.
3. On the contrary. The captain did NOT ignore their input. He actually went back and interviewed them all at length. His original assessment was very much based on their input. The body of evidence from Auckland and HK caused him to overrule his original assessment.
It could happen to anyone.
I would imagine that reading the report would be waste of time for you but if you would like to see it PM me.
