If we had 'revoked his licence' as suggested happens to this crew, the UK aviation industry would have lost a very good trainer - and nothing would have been gained, other than revenge. Let's hope the US industry is as enlightened.
We learn from other's mistakes as well as our own.
Earthmover I agree with you but I think we may be talking about a different incident. The one I am talking about was a 737.
