.... very subtle
donpizmeov... I like that!.... How'd you like the sheep joke?... I see your a great Kiwi fan... thanks !!
But seriously... Your correct, I or my family wasnt there, so I kept my post a little circumspect. I agree its good that the incident was reported (by someone) are you suggesting there may be a culture in EK of not reporting these things ??
Since the report states that there was no loss of separation, I would suggest that the power was applied at or before the point at which it was needed.
Would you agree that would be on setting T/O thrust .... otherwise that sounds like "going for it" and getting away with it ... especially with an ATM.
MAX AB ( Does AB stand for All Blacks..???) I will assume from your reply, rejecting the T/O was NEVER at ANY point in your opinion a viable option for this crew....interesting.
Out of curiosity what does EK's T/O brief say about rejecting? I appreciate any discussion around V1 etc became irrelevant in this incident
