Mr Lavdumper, I am not really sure as to why I appear to have yanked your chain to such an extent warrant your vitriolic post, my reply to Tanker was "No

" and it referred to the fact that neither pilot has been reinstated and unfortunatly are unlikely to be.
The Captain in question is a personal friend of mine and I would like state the following for clarity :
I find this whole affair and the manner in which they were treated as appalling, to suggest that I found it humourous or was attempting to make fun of their plight is groundless and frankly pathetic.
What the reply I posted or your perception of my post has to do with my ability or lack of as professional pilot in Europe, I am at a complete loss.
