Piltdown - I actually do avoid those words and that is not what caught my attention to the incident. When they reported an injury to the stewardess, it made me curious to inquire if the avoidance maneuver was designed to be sudden or gradual. A gradual climb or descent shouldn't cause injuries.

It's also an interesting question for this neck of the woods, as there is a lot of military traffic over the eastern Aegean, especially if you include the Turkish incursions into Greek airspace. I don't want to start a political war here, but these are crowded skies, and commercial aircraft are caught in the middle.

It will be interesting, if we eventually do see a report here, as to what actually happened. Since there was an injury, perhaps we'll get to see that report after time.
