I’m sure that all colleagues await with avid interest, publication on 23 Feb 2001 of the Taiwanese Aviation Safety Council interim report on the SQ006 disaster of 31 Oct 2000.
Of particular interest will be mention (or not) of the captain’s rest period subsequent to his previous Melbourne COP and prior to duty report for SQ0006.
It would seem that he was a day short of statutory rest requirement but it is believed that this oversight has swiftly been rectified by firing the rostering girl “responsible”.
Who says SQ hasn’t got a modern, effective management?
