I really dont mean to stir the pot but just want to talk about the facts.
This hard landing may have been a training flight but I was informed that there was no 'taking over' to be done as the hard landing was done by the Captain himself as it was his sector. And the guy being the Fleet Captain too! Also that the news was after all the assesment or whatever, Airbus said is was a couple of million ringgit or dollars to fix. Rumour from finance department.

Hey, we may laugh but it could happen to anyone, even me (hopefully a crap day like that never happens) But what gets me annoyed is that this Capt still remains flying and still remains in position after said incident. Was there an internal investigation even? I have seen guys suspended after an incident pending investigation and even guys demoted for far less! And this is in Air Asia. I dont like double standards and if it happened to a regular Capt or an F/O he would really get screwed. This of course should not happen.

Any facts guys? Are my rumours all wrong?
