Stop muck raking.

Planes getting bogged in the bush is no big deal....most piltos flying around up north have done it. What is a billiard table smooth dry suface can mask a boggy mud underneath and you can't tell until it's too late. I've done it.

Landing at the wrong strip, well easy to see how it can happen - they all look the same half the time, and don't all have nice big letters and numbers along then with radio beacons etc. Many times stations might have two strips quite close together. Unless the "old" strip had huge big crosses along it, no big deal

Maybe not the best judgement call to send an aircraft to another one that is bogged, but you ca't hang a company on that.

Grow up and focus your attentions on the incompetencies in others, like the regulator.

PS, no I have never worked for nor have any interest in AT.
