Umm,
Wiley - when have I
ever said that I'm an L10 jock??
I do, however, agree with the rest of your post. Incidentally, I'm sure you'll be interested to know that your guess about at least one of the crew having bush flying experience was spot on. The captain, Robert Piché, has been with Air Transat for 5 years prior to which he was a bush pilot for two decades, flying DC-6 for Conifair, a company specialising in low altitude forest spraying.
Ozdude - sheesh!!
