how does an ex-iberia pilot know what things are like in Spanair.. really Iberia pilots should worry about their own standards like the air nostrum pilot who 'forgot' to extend his landing gear when landing in BCN not so long ago.
On the topic of the crash... (i start with a capital IF) IF this flight already had a rejected takeoff then there must be some questions on how the aircraft was released at all.... surely if MX had peformed a high powered engine run the fault would have reappeared. then maybe the engine might have been destroyed but nobody would have died... just my thoughts
