BOAC
Yes this was my first post on this topic, I have however been reading "most" of the comments! That is why I made my post. We seem to have a hamster wheel going and the same old "airbus bashing" is being spouted.
You have lost credibility though when you stated
the aircraft left them with no real options to stop APART from closing the T/L (if that was the case) and that to me is WRONG,
radical thought there close the thrust levers to stop!
The pilot flying left the thrust lever in the CLB detent NOT the aircraft or designers. He also did not immediately apply full manual braking when autobrake failed. Were these mistakes made due to poor training of this pilot or poor airmanship.
Yes we are all hoping an accident like this will not happen again but the main causes at the moment appear to be pilot induced so we should all be saying " I HAVE LEARNT ABOUT FLYING FROM THIS" I do not want to make those mistakes!!!
