Pathetic is an understatement. Their whole attitude is pitiable.
But look at the plus points!! The aviation world has learnt a lot from experts of Wright Brother vintage.
1) We have a French expert who is probably the only one in the world who has ever flown in a simulator with "Presuurised" cabin. If not , how would he have been scared along with his co-pilot, when the pressurisation failed , during a SIM session? Or, as the experts have stated in their deposition, "scaring co-pilots" is acceptable!!
2) We have a Geriatric expert from UK, who questions the veracity of the "Ugly Americans"!!
First, he says that the NTSB has cooked up the Radar plot. Then, he questions the Boeing procedure!! If Boeing is to follow his expert opinion, they have to re-write the Non-normal procedure for cracked window pane. The Boeing 737 QRH has no restriction for "outer"pane crack. But the Silkair expert says that has caused an explosive decompression.
Probably, the co-pilot was too scared ( just like many of the others who flew with Tsu), to react to a series of failures caused by imaginary electrical failures--CVR/FDR/Autopilot/Autothrottle/ thrust levers moving to full thrust position/ stab trim moving to full down position/ outer window pane crack resulting in pressurisation failure. Well, I think all of us who are flying around haven't learnt anything!!!
