yeah the decision is especially questionable since they were found not guilty in the first trial (2006) and then guilty on appeal hearing.

certainly has me thinking twice about taking any more trainees (8% does not offset the risk of a jail term)

ps. can anybody explain to me how our profession came to use the phrase "near-miss" for 2 planes in close proximity that don't collide? I mean, if you nearly miss something, does'nt that mean you actually hit it, just?
