It would be interesting how this thread would have progressed if the incident had been in Ireland with the same two planes and crews.
I imagine many of the American posters would be making much of the 'hero' copilot that saved thousands from death amid the failures of the substandard European ATC.
The crap some people have been posting about bringing your A game, or if you dont like it dont come here, is not really relevant. If someone has some safety concerns, they should be heard and considered. If their concerns are valid, it shouldn't matter where they are from.
Would that attitudes shown here be the same if some of the posters (Idunno for example) were from the US?
I am getting the impression that some people are in defense mode here, defending at all costs without really considering the issues.
The lack of professionalism being shown on this thread is amazing.
