Everyone, please remember the most important part. We are talking about a highly experience crew who earns a very nice salary
What on earth does 'experience' or 'salary' have to do with it?


I don’t question for one minute their decision to depart.
Robeki have you ever done a CRM course? It is exactly that type of attitude that costs lives. I question everything. Everything. I owe it to my pax.



At least 3 pilots made the decision to depart with the “SNOW” covered airplane. The odds of having 3 cowboys in the cockpit is highly unlikely.
However many pilots there were, if we take LTD's description of events at face value then it would appear that there were indeed '3 cowboys' in that flight deck. Or a very steep Command Gradient.
I wonder what IB SOPs have to say about airframe contamination; and if the Commander had evidence (photo etc) submitted against him, I wonder what his response to the authorities would have been?

Some of the postings on this thread are truly bizzare, and if they are from pilots, I shudder at the thought....

Well done LTD for speaking up. It is our duty to do so.

ATB
