We will see that the serious "safety" posts vastly outweigh the serious "status" posts. So a view that the discussion is less about safety than about status would be simply wrong.
I am going to have to change my mind about the posts since then. We have a dozen addressing status (including professional behavior), 5 sceptic on the facts, 2 reporting facts, and only 1, maybe 2, on safety itself.
Those supporting the Iberia crew should please remember that we are talking about a crew who apparently violated applicable aviation regulations concerning safety of flight without having a clear safety-of-flight reason to do so. How on earth can you justify that sort of behavior?
