Having flown with the British Captain of the 757 only several days after the event and heard straight from the horse's mouth what the British crew did and what their astonished thoughts were, I was somewhat surprised by the wealth of inaccuracies of the event in The Daily Mail.
The general gist was accurate but the details were nothing less than woeful.
Most Thomas Cook UK pilots knew of this incident many days ago and considering that this can only have a detrimental effect on the company's name with the general public, I was surprised to hear that any Thomas Cook pilots had initiated comments on the event... most unhelpful if the lazy bumbling Press are watching.
With a TCAS RA it is a black and white issue, NO grey areas, British crew responded to the whole 'escapade' 100% correctly, including filing the ASR and the reports to the relevant authorities. This was just too bizarre to not warrant full and complete reports.
And as for that Daily Mail reporter... just don't get me started.
