Yorik, your on a no win battle mate, probably should just let assdama and his bunch of merry men find out the hard way. The transition from 717 to A320 will not be as easy as those pecker heads think.
Keg, I see where your coming from, but at the end of the day, management does not give a rats.Yeah, they know who you are, most of us do, so what. Had a 767 captain in the jumpseat yesterday, by and large the guys have alot of misgivings about our ex Impulse monkeys.
It's not whether someone runs an aeroplane off a runway, retracts flap, nearly lands on a highway etc, its whether the systemic problems that caused that to happen and the culture which operates there can be changed as a result.
Have to say it, and I know it's going to come across wrong to the likes of commander assdama et al, but QF introduced the Boeing 737-800 and recently the A330 with minimal problems, this I believe is testament to QF, I don't see QF as a flawed system.
