I have followed this case with interest since the day of the accident,mainly because I spent most of my youth messing around Blackpool airport, indeed it is because of a famous old SATCO, JK that I find myself in the job I am now in.
I feel rather than debate the whys or why not's Andrew took command on that day we should rather be exploring the errors that lead to the accident!.....with all the help available from ATC service's enroute, why at no stage of the flight did he try to obtain any updated weather information from the London FIR sector???? thats what the guys are there to do, if that had happened an early diversion may have been the course of action and we would not be here today debating the rights or wrongs!
