Hi jondc9,

rather than say what the crew did was wrong, perhaps you should have used you 4 engined ops experience to state to the listening layman that this was a perfectly acceptable option for the crew once all factors and resources had been considered.

You, as someone who works on behalf of a large news organisation have to choose your words a little more carefully than the rest of us. The large listening audience hanging onto your every word, could be, potentially damaging to an airline.

On that particular day, the crew, having used all of the resources available to them, chose to continue, perfectly acceptable and legal too.

Rgds.
