Blue Bird VG93 departed Sydney today and had a tail scrape.
Big deal you say, can happen to anyone.
What does the QRH say ?
Why would you continue climbing to FL380 after being told a taxying aircraft saw what appeared to be a tail scrape on rotate.
Why would you continue climbing after ATC told you the Safety Officer found a heavy piece of metal 5 by 3 inches that appeared to be a tail guard.
After all this GRADEing a comprimise of F280 was made.
I thought you Virgin guys and gals were on the ball.
Please tell me my source was wrong.
