I don't think anyone is criticising the crew here.
As I said before, Jetstar is facing a major
PR problem, the likes of which all airlines face at times when they have a run of incidents. QF have had them, Ansett had them.
VB seemed to have escaped unscathed so far.
Jetstar Intl problem is that with 5 airframes it has not achieved critical mass and the press will leap on any incident in the near future. If you think Jetstar gets a hard time here, wait for another incident and see the press bandwagon!
