Jackonicko,
It seems to me that it is YOU that THINKS he knows better than everyone else. As I stated previously, my opinions are broadly concurred with by BA Concorde pilots. What qualification do you have to argue against their knowledge and experience?
It seems to me that if I told you my favourite colour was blue, you would try and lecture me that it was not!!
The REAL skill in COMMERCIAL aviation is not purely passing exams and flight tests. It is turning in a consistently SAFE operation despite all of the factors that would cause otherwise.
I will state one more time....
There were mistakes made, the flight was not perfect, BUT the aircraft ultimately crashed for one reason only; because IT WAS SEVERELY ON FIRE.
