Quote from DozyWanabee:
But in all seriousness, it could just as easily be Etihad that have requested the results of any investigation to be kept between the two companies, which would put Airbus in the distinctly difficult position of having a bunch of interested parties wanting to know what happened, and a large customer who would rather they didn't tell them.

Very much hope that is not the case, DW. Surely Etihad's reputation is not predicated on a small part of its engineering department?

In view of the fortunate lack of fatalities, plus a lack of video footage; would the press release not be relegated to a paragraph in the inside pages of large-circulation newspapers; and fail even to be reported on CNN, Al Jazeera or BBC?


Huck and ChristiaanJ,

I agree. A lot of useful stuff has been posted in the pages above. Including lessons (not always) handed down.
