Since none of us really know what happened onboard that Premiair flight, neither of us can really judge whether the captain took the right decision.
Fully agree with you. End of meaningful discussion of the Captain's actions until we know the facts.
Why then do you go on to say:
However, since a law suit is boiling it would be safe to assume that he got it wrong somewhere.
Complete bollocks. It would be very unsafe to assume anything of the sort.
The fact that a lawsuit has been initiated, in this litigious day and age, says nothing and means nothing about the merits or otherwise of the case.
Ask any US airline's legal department, and you would be amazed what people will sue for these days. If you are involved in any sort of aviation incident in the USA, you will be sued.
Interesting how the eventual outcome of these cases never seems to be reported!
