Non pilot speaking. Let's be brutal: Fire/RTO/evac/many dead both inside and outside the machine. At the enquiry the chief pilot/cheir ops/cheif of cheifs says:
"Out commander followed their instructions to the letter and we commend him/her for that. Given the tragic loss of life, we must look again at our prodcedures."
"It is with surprise that I must report our commander did not follow company instructions. Given the tragic loss of life, this is particularly regrettable ..."
You know that they are going to shift the blame because that is how business works. Of course, you need to do your best efforts but, as I understand it, SOPS are there so that - in the confusion of an incident - you have instructions based on experience.
