The problem with this type of reporting, as İ see from inside the industry, is that a continual diet of 'occurrences' in the news may undermine the confidence the travelling public has in the airline/s. Aviation is complex, technical and not easily understood by most, e.g. what would be a routine matter for a crew may, in the public view, present a near death experience.

News agencies should have people who know the industry and the difference between a serious incident and one that is newsworthy and one that is not, this one isn't, as reported, in my opinion. That is not to say that the airline and the CAA/AAİB shouldn't investigate it, but the majority they investigate don't make the headlines either.
