Hi.
If I replied to the post it was because I read words as "machos" xd xd xd it really sound freak to latin people when non latin people say that word. Is there "macho" actitude in some latin pilots? Could be... but you can find this actitude in pilots from other nations and no body will say they are machos... I am working for a nordic company and I feel this feelings from the nord to the south.
If it does not matter where they are from? Why do you high light the fact that I am Spanish? We are pilots.
Regarding safety... I can not belive they put the safety of the 340 pax under the imminent threat of a frozen wing... no way. For sure that crew new what they did.
