Memories are thankfully fading, NOD, but what was the outcome when a BA manager (IIRC?) 'continued' to destination on a flight in an Airbus with an engine at idle (due to oil problems?) a while back? Was a final safety report made available to the troops and if so did the company judge that to be an 'acceptable action'? What was the applicable BA QRH/ECAM action?
Assuming they did, and if we have heard nothing from the CAA on this, presumably it becomes an 'acceptable action'? This would make AeroTech's question interesting.
