Yeah, right Port Strobe,
Just like the crew that was responsible for the original screw-up!
Just like the crew that overran the 744 at Bangkok, after initiating a go-around, they changed their mind and decided to continue the approach, and forgot that they had inadvertantly cancelled their auto speedbrakes, they didn't deploy at touch, and nobody noticed until it was too late, incredible!
Just like the crew that lost control of the onboard fire on the Md-11 - nobody got serious with fire detection/extinguishing until it was too late, incredible!
Just like the crew that tail scrapped the 744 for over 300 meters on takeoff, then had stickshaker on liftoff and nobody moved any thrust lever from the reduced power setting, incredible X2! (and lucky)
So much overlooked, so often, so unnessessarily - incredible!
And you want me (and others) to be satisfied with flying with no FE in such a large aircraft. One thing is very certain, I will not be flying in the A380 until they install an FE position, so I guess that means I will never see the inside of one - no problem!
Cheers
