Had some fun with that, but even a "god" landing ends in a dash or should I say crash.
And yes the withdrawel of the dash from SAS inventory is all down to SAS having to do something. The public in scandinavia has endured the dash from the beginning and it seems 7 years of unreliability and 3 bellylandings is what it takes.
But before the rest of the world belittles scandinavians, remember they were the guinypigs from the start and don't forget all the returns, aborted takeoffs, delays and whatnot because of: A/C generator fails, cargofire warnings, door open warnings, stuck flaps, com fails, powerplant messages, gear problems, stuck deicer boot valves and the list goes on and on and on..........

Rumor says that the dash -400 caused 70% of all firebrigade callouts i Copenhagen, so they can relax now after 7 hard years.

I think the dash is about to become an ok plane and I'm shure in another 7 years time it might even be great.
