The outcome of this was a tragedy. What, in fact, did Glen Stewart do ‘wrong’ to get the aircraft into the position it was and, secondly, what convinced the jury he was ‘guilty’.
I seem to remember that forecast weather at LHR was below minimums for the FO’s qualifications, sick or not, and that a ‘dispensation’ was sent to the inbound aircraft to allow it to make the approach/landing. Is this right?
What part did BALPA/BA play in the man’s defence?
