I find this very disturbing. When are the overseeing authorities going to wake up and take the bull by the horns and address the issues that seem to surround RYR? The coments by "braking action" defy belief. If,sir, you are a Commander of a public transport aircraft then I strongly recommend you get your head "back in the books" - that way you won't be relying on hindsight.
It is 2006 and aviation has reached a stage where procedures, equipment and regulation are developed to such an extent that the risk to the paying public is, quite correctly, minimised. The cavalier attitude and TOTAL DISREGUARD for these procedures shown by SOME Commanders on the night in question should be dealt with by the authorities in the strongest possible way.
If the authorites fail in their duty, they will be culpable if the unthinkable happens.
