Time has already told with your lot, though, hasn't it Chuck? After years of near misses, it's one almighty divet on the fairway (And an APPALLING handling of the incident by all concerned both during and after!) and counting!

The most frightening thing has been, however, that the entrenched attitudes of smug superiority that contributed to that and other incidents (Four "Superior" Qantas pilots sitting on a flight deck, taking off with no flight instruments because none of them understood how an IRS system worked! JEEZZEE!!) still shine through in the words and deeds of such as yourself.

Those of us in the real world know that attitudes like yours are what makes an Airline dangerous.

(And before you trot out the obvious response, yes I went through QF sellection and was offered a Job.. I turned it down largely because it would have meant flying with people like you!!)
