Looking back on this thread, apart from a couple of errant opinions, I cannot see where there has been to much armchair analysis by Monday's heroes. Most of what has been written is surely just fact.
If you look at the opening post it was someone seeking confirmation of a rumour actually posted 'elsewhere' on the net anyway.
Blaming PPrune in this case is shooting the messenger - especially when you actually post it!
If Steve Creedy 'quotes' PPrune he would be very nieve indeed. Having said that, PPrune is normally more accurate than the mainstream media.
This would be more of a case of a 'lead' from this site that prompted a call to ATSB for verification I would deduce. Are any of you suggesting that such incidents should be 'hushed up'?
Didn't we seen enough of that when the Air Traffic Controllers took stop work meetings 2 1/2 years ago after Certified Agreement negotiations broke down: How many incidents did you hear about when ASA management took over the airspace during that period? How many were there? What did the QANTAS CP say about flying in that situation again? And where were the inquiring minds of the media THEN Steve Creedy?
