Blimey, No need to get defensive. I was merely backing up a point I made that the captains will enforce their code and laws. I was stating that flying an aircraft past it's check date is illegal just as smoking in the loos of an aircraft are. I was making a point, not attacking anybody to do with Airtours. I was answering the person's question --- would the captain have landed? Yes. I was backing up my statement. Hope this clears things up a bit.
