We'll have to disagree... I don't understand what you mean by:
To use the AIB report to try and justify holding a long way short of the holding point is simply doltish.
- AAIB reports are investigations into incidents / accidents whose sole purpose is to "learn" and prevent future similar occurances. I for read them, and take note of that they say and don't. Whatever, I will believe them before you!
However, you are still again missing my point. Just because the 737 was (maybe) not where he was cleared to, does not consitute the sole or major cause of the incident i.e. not being at T1 does not give the 767 the right to taxi past regardless (not that I am saying he did). The old RAF adage "Don't Assume - Check" springs to mind...
