Thanks for the compliment, Unconcerned. I think we're on the same side of this debate.
Because one poster inserts a poorly/non-thought out position isn't reason enough to shut down the entire discussion.
I'm certainly not slagging off on Kalitta Air or its crews. In fact I highly respect the job they do flying long hours in old airplanes to strange places. In fact, to me they are at the pinnacle of aviation today, while the rest of us can fall back on autoland and the APPR PB.
My fondest wish is that Kalitta, the company, and Kalitta, the crews come out of this with heads held high and the determination to make the international cargo world as safe as it can possibly be.
