On the contrary, as I understand it there has been NO CHANGE to procedures anywhere, excepting only where the FAA might go hysterical were this to happen again.
And, as the AAIB report shows, the UNCHANGED procedures were based on the very same FAA's certification, continue to be approved by the CAA, and are shared by other airlines elsewhere in the world.
Where is the "FU#$up"? I don't see one. I see only recognition that one body needs to be pandered to.
