No it wasn't retracting the slats to teach the Captain a lesson it was a brow beaten young first officer who made a mistake. Saw the printed read out of the Flt recorder in the "readout room "at base showing the slats were selected up not the gear it was very sorry reading and it not only affected aircrew but the people who signed for the "Check A"done the previous evening as a Stall recovery check was part of the check,it did bring about at least 1 nervous break down and several suspensions until all were exonerated weeks later by the board of enquiry
sorry about the tirade but the" mechs "were friends and workmates of mine
