So let me get this straight. Your B52 is in higher peril of suffering another engine failure if it loses one engine out of its eight than say a 747 which has lost one out of its four, and far, far more risk of losing another one than your 777 that has already lost one out of its two? I see. Have you considered the additional degree of danger a further engine failure poses? I think not.

I think Danny, who owns this website, will be mightily peeved when he reads these shenannigans. I think logic has departed this place. We are stuck in a First World War type stalemate, neither side willing to give way or leave the other side to have the last word. Why don't we just leave it to the legislators to sort out? What is incontrovertible is that the crew did nothing wrong according to the rules of the FAA or CAA! Like it or not, that is it, PERIOD!
