Flaps40,
Calm down there. Not trying to teach anyone to suck anything, but in the 10+ years I've been sending a/c on their way I have come across many a pilot to whom the SLF are beneath them and not worthy of their presence let alone making a call to those peasents in the back to let them know that everything is A-ok and they are not actually going to die.
I think this type of pilot needs to remember once in a while who is actually paying for the kids private school and the bit on the sides credit cards and the nice flash motor(s) on the drive.
Anyway getting off topic now.
Anymore news on the nature of the damage to the a/c or when it's going to leave ?.
