I agree with all that
Flying Lawyer and
Danny have said.
One small technical point from the AA Statement:
American Airlines Flight 55 is operated by a Boeing 767-300 and today carried 198 passengers and eleven flight crew.
eleven flight crew
Would I be correct in assuming AA realy meant to say, 2
flight crew and 9 cabin crew?
If there was indeed 11 "flight crew" then AA could pick and chose which were realy on duty, and that particular F/O could say he was not 'on duty' and was a pax dressed as an AA pilot........
I hope the AA pilot proves
once again that it's another Manchester false alarm
