Incompetent Pilots ???
Working at 3am, Fatigued in aircraft designed from World War Two engineering..........I'd like to see those that criticise try their hardest landing in crap wx down to minimums. Before making such judgements, perhaps we should wait for the AAIB reports, like gentlemen (and ladies) ?
99% of the pilots worked F***ing hard to keep the company operating.
There was only so much banging a head against a brick wall that one could take.
The CAA have a job to do; if the company could not be run properly, did not have a rigourous maintenence schedule, wasn't prepared to invest in crew/resources/aircraft, happy to allow problem after problem manifest into a FUBAR situation, then the management have only themselves to blame. The workforce often raised problems that could have been fixed - logically. But hey, why not just bury heads in the sand, call the CAA nasty names and it will all blow over.
My best wishes to those that make nice cups of tea/coffee, treat people with respect and fellow aviators.
Leadership requires respect......And in most cases you need to f***ing earn it.
