Surely an understandable human mistake that someone has the balls to own up to. What happened to 'there but for the grace of God etc?' And how come there are so many perfect people out there who are immune to plain human error? - because I haven't met too many in the real world (very much including me)
I sympathise - I didn't make the same mistake exactly, but I did land at an airport with the right aircraft - but with the wrong
tech-log! ... and oh boy did that cause some confusion and a
lot of adjusting. It was placed on the aircraft by an engineer who was signing off the PDI on two aircraft ... and he accidentally swapped them. Each aircraft's Captain (one of them yours truly) failed to spot the transposition ...
mea culpa.
