Misinformation

BlueRay:

bae146 is clearly stating that at british airways the water sump checks were never carried out, just stamped as being done. I recall earlier in this post baengineering saying the same thing! Clearly water was building up in this centre tank from poor maintenance practice that was widespread at cc.

All I can say is the sooner the media gets this out to the wider public the better. Also why has ba lied in the report? Making out they were doing a study on water sumping just before the incident! It would be amusing if the gravity of the situation were not so significant. A large aircraft nearly down over london.

This misinformation is based on earlier misinformation and provides a good example of why many professionals will no longer contribute.

Firstly, the posts you are referencing did not refer to specific procedures which had been signed-off without implementation. Secondly, they were clearly from someone with an axe to grind, probably a disaffected (Ex?) employee.

I suggest that before you start reaching such conclusions you read the entire thread. This would give a much broader understanding and would allow you to judge the quality and credibility of individual posts within the bigger picture.
