I appreciate the sentiment, Pakeha Boy, but you only need to read the whole of this thread to know that everyone has picked the side they're on and that this thing has to go right down to the wire. The reason for this is that the union, in my opinion, decided to go for AirNZ's neck before the Royal Commission - and AirNZ didn't appear to see it coming (yet another c8ck-up).
Let's get right to the point: Did Captain S., under pressure from the union, lie when he gave evidence under oath that the two briefing officers told him that the nav track went down McMurdo Sound, rather than over Erebus?
(Any howls of "No!" should contain an explanation as to why Captain S. could possibly have thought that the waypoint might have been in the wrong position. If he had been told, at the briefing, that the nav track went down McMurdo Sound, then he would have expected to find the waypoint in McMurdo Sound - which is where it was, and which was where he found it. Nothing unusual to report, methinks. So perhaps Captain S, in fact, was told that the nav track went over Erebus. If so, then so was Captain Collins, because they both attended the same briefing.)
