This alias is new to Pprune, but I was around in its infancy.
The crew involved were, surprisingly enough for BM, not reprimanded.
I understand that there are two types of radar fitted to BM airbus. One is better than the other. One is able to see weather to which DJ was subjected, the other, cheaper (surely not as BM never cuts corners) or is it lighter? does not.
The Captain involved is experienced and able enough in his own right, to STILL command an airliner.
For those of who who fly, perhaps you should know better, for those who don't, a moonless night isn't all that good for seeing something like a dark cloud beneath, nor in front of you. If it's not on the radar, why would you look for it?
Flame away if you please, BUT note well, for once the company did NOT sack, nor endeavour to humiliate, its staff...
