IMHO LTD did the right thing, both by making the call and by putting the thread on here. I have not listened to the tapes (not enough time), but experience tells me that US frequencies can be busy and a snappy call is the order of the day - it gets the message out loud and clear.
The fact that there was a further warning from a BA crew and ATC beggars belief that the Iberia crew remained so intent on scaling up the Air Florida Potomac accident - So nice that they had such a great wish to keep the accident investigators busy at this time of year.
I dont have to labour the point about snow and ice induced accidents - we (should) all know the stats.
I would therefore like to propose that this crew should have been called
"SUICIDALS" instead of cowboys.
As a footnote I would like to say that i'm sure there are many many good pilots in IB as with almost every company, but the media wont care about that at the crash site, all they will care about is the insignia on the fin.
