Let them chickens come home to roost

Yes of course C4's investigation will not produce any surprises for those of us who know this airline all too well. Nor should we expect a high standard of journalistic excellence. And, yes indeed, some of the allegations are fairly lame and irrelevant giving MOL (and no doubt LHC in due course, YAWN....) easy rebuttals while ignoring the really meaty stuff. But, there are pearls among the swine and at last the issue of pilot fatigue is getting an outing. Nice of Michael to open up his internal studies on that one Interesting that he had it readily available. (Handy for the AAIU when THAT evil day dawns....) Like a naughty child covering his eyes when caught out, it is symptomatic of a guilty conscience, me thinks. Even if dispatches seem to have missed the most blatant abuses of the FTL scheme, it has now entered the public domain and the great unwashed will gradually absorb the fact that a tired pilot may kill them. I don't think MOL's aggressive, overly legalistic and heavy-handed response to C4 will impress the public.
