G.R. You can't be serious? I hope not, but if you are, will you please elaborate. It can't be true that a pilot follows the GPWS and gets whacked for it. Of course it depends what it was. If it was a "Too Low Gear", or Too Low Flaps" etc. then there might have been a serious SOP disregard, or the a/c was endangered due negligence. However, if a "Pull UP", and it was followed and the day saved, surely only some research and extra training/discussion how to avoid the problem, again unless gross negligence. Surely every ATC controller who causes an RA, or pilot who causes an RA, is not going to be chopped. What happened to the often professed 'open culture'?

As to an answer from IAA, it will be a 'Mullighan'.

Back to fatigue debate: I still say that a good alert crew can save a broken a/c, but a broken crew can easily crunch a good a/c.
