DFC,
Sad little post really.
Perhaps the CAA, the operators, BALPA and comentators here do not see it in the same way because despite being published these reports regarding UK operators are simply never mentioned?
With typical RYR style your argument defending RYR is based on finger pointing in the opposite direction. Reminds me of school - "But teacher! He did it too!". Quite sad really. Rather than accept that there is even the slightest possibility that something could be wrong in RYR, you like so many before you will try to say it's OK because others have done it too. Remember this thread is not just about RVRs and STN. It is about many other incidents too and a publicly violent management style.
I suppose it is just a conspiracy between the airports, CAA, IAA, Flight International, BALPA, IALPA, the Queen, Tony Blair, Mary McAleese, Bertie Ahern and Dermot Mannion and whoever else you can think of? RYR are right and the rest of the world is wrong. Fair enough.
Once again I qoute James Hotson of the CAA discussing the STN incidents.
"No other airline was involved,"
