Can someone explain to me how:

If thrust is supposed to be checked by 60 knots...how is that a spilt second decision?

If one thrust lever is in front of the other by several knobs "three as described in court" that something might be wrong with the engine?

That a fuel leak was found following an inspection.

And the damn engine was changed! So a good decision eh?

And the pilots as a group are standing behind a decision like that.

Do we assume that they are happy to fly unairworthy aircraft.

And are they standing behind "one of theirs" no matter what the performance, attitude and competence of "one of theirs".

And do they condone pulling circuit breakers.

And what of the landing climb performance of an overweight landing (have "they" even heard of such a limitation and had it been checked)?

What a sham, joke and apology for so-called profesional pilots..who are "paid to make split second decisions".

Methinks you have been watching too many Hollywood movies.....and if you think I am wrong, ask the relatives of the dead!

What a disgrace to make a court a meeting place for the aviation illiterates who "must stick together!
