Jackonicko,
You obviously have absolutely no idea about acting as a professional flightcrew member, especially in an abnormal/emergency situation. What should have been done in your (theoretical) opinion will probably make most of the real professional aviators reading it laugh out loud at your naivity. Yes, the flight was not perfect, but thats the real world mate, and the points you raise HAD ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON THE EVENTUAL (SAD) OUTCOME.
If you would care to re-read my last post you will see that I said IN MY EXPERIENCE many pilots technical knowledge is not of a level to make such comments. I stand by that statement regardless of whatever anyone else says. Could your average ATPL change a brakepack for example? or even know where to start? You are trying to lecture a well qualified individual here, and sorry "mate" but it just makes you look sad.....
