Those of you blaming the person running the company in Joburg are doing so unjustly and it is totally disappropriate at this time. He might of had his share in the past, however this does not automatically mean anything to what happened now - he has absolutly no control for an aeroplane flying into terrain - he did not force them to fly and he trusts crew to make their own deceisions as that is what they are getting paid for.
This crew was by no means incompetant, especially the skipper would take no cr
p from anyone - not even his boss. He was respected greatly by everyone in the company and was most probably the most senior captain of all.
Something terrible has happened here, nobody knows why or what had happened so stop writing such far fetched bullsh
This did not happen because the crew did not have Jeppcharts etc. or was not equipped with essentials or experience. Until we do not know what or who is to blame, we should not accuse anyone in public until proven guilty.
