The QF Captain of the A330 demonstrated just why he is that.
His options were:
1. Auto landing on a Cat I ILS runway.
2. Ditching.
3. Flying around until fuel exhaustion results in a forced (read: crash) landing.
How about
:-
4. Carry enough fuel to get to an alternate, and divert there instead.....
Yes I agree with option 4! ATSB records show an A330 landed in SYD with auto pilot in low vis after a few attempts with only minutes of fuel left on board! Captain material? I think not! These guys wanna play games maybe they should think about QF1 B747-438ER VH-OJH
