What is mentioned about the management, is absolutely right!
Most of their pilots, are "presed" by the management, to fly their flights, even in adverse weather!
What was happened in Rhodes, is the approval....
Their competitor, Olympic airways, when winds are exceeding a predermined force, blowing from S-SE direction, are not flying to Rhodes, due to severe turbulence and wind shear, in final, specially at an altitude below 700 agl, making the approach, a "Russian rullet"....
This day, Olympic cancelled their flights to Rhodes, so the Aegean pilot, after the management's order (?), went there, and hit his wing on the tarmag, trying to land. Making a go-around, left for Athens, (WITH DAMAGE), without landing at a closer airport, such as KOS, in order to investigate the damage.
This was a risky bussiness!!!! (at my oppinion)
Is this the way that "airlines of the year 2004" are flying????
