Reports say that the Pilots did not inform their pax of the events. This was told by a very calm and non-hysterical pax. Is this common practice so as to not admit any legal liabilities?
If this occurrence is true then isn't it now, not about any particular airline trying to stop NAS, and not NAS itself, but the way in which this change has occured. I beg all aviators, be you Airline, Charter, GA, Private, whoever you are and for whoever you work for, fly safely and smartly. We as a community are right in the spotlight and the media are ready to pounce on anything. Not to mention your life and those around you are more important than NAS, so if you see anything that remotely has a negative impact on your life have it changed. I am still working on the how part!
To the guys flying that this has happened to I am sincerely glad you are both alive and hope your respective airlines do not use you, but rather see the truth.
