330 Man, you're spot on.
The day I stop learning is the day I quit.

For those who subscribe to the 'hang em high' theory perhaps you should consider the 'he who is without error, let him cast the first stone' philosophy.

The nimber of times I've landed and thought 'if a few things had gone slightly differently.........'

NO accident is the sole fault of the crew. NONE. The Reason model of error chain is worthwhile looking at, if only to see that the poor bastards up the front are merely the last link in what is usually a catalogue of stuff ups leading to the the final prang.

Anyone who can walk away from an event like this and survive can only be the better for it. You can bet your arse they won't do it again, neither will any other Emirates crew. And that HAS to be good.
