Re: Emirates A340-300 incident @ JoBurg. Report is public

There is a difference between discrediting a pilot and pointing out that inadequate training may be the cause.
I consider the pilots concerned to be a victim of the system. In order to do so you have to point out the shortcomings. I never attacked the pilots, only made observations about the decision making process and I consider that a training issue.
As such what I said was very relevant and it now seems to turn out that the error made was training induced.
As far as the thread you refer to is concerned , I would like to mention that it now turns out that I was completely right.
Maybe the pilots concerned should have refused to apply the rotation technique as it was being trained and get fired. Your choice.
They were actually fired and the only reason why they are still there is that the incident happened outside the UAE and got an international dimension that needed their cooperation.
