Sad But True
A couple of CC mates were on this crew.
Aircraft diverted to HNL due medical emergency.
Aircraft ended up back in LAX where the Skipper was stood down while in contact with the company on his mobile.
The company will bend and break the rules to suit.Fatigue and or safety are not an issue for them.
Flights to Europe now have 3 flight deck not 4 as was normal until recently.
Can't remember the last time a Captain was stood down.
