Jesus H Christ people!
While were at it why not stick the knife in the back of the Emirates A340 pilots at Johannesburg a few years ago that didnt rotate correctly and collected the localiser aerial at the end of the runway, dumped fuel and then returned safely.
It turned out they were inadequately trained (safety report) and the Captain got the sack for his troubles I believe.....great airline to work for!
It must be wonderful having the same sheik as chairman of the Emirates board, as well as being the head of their regulatory authority and being the King of the UAE.
We might as well stick the knife into the Singapore Airlines pilots also that:
- Miscalculated theor performance figures at Auckland airport and struck their tail destroying their APU on rotation
- Took off in a typhoon in Taipei on a closed runway and hit a crane killing over 100 pax
- Stalled an A310 over the Bay of Bengal, lost about 15,000 ft in the process and then climbed through everyone elses cleared levels without telling ATC.
These are all documented accounts.
There are numerous others boys and girls that are documented so lets stick to actual accounts rather than folklore that could get PPrUne in hot water by mentioning names etc.
