Everybody makes mistakes - and that includes the prodigal son of gawd himself, aka 411a (must me his son, 'cos gawd owns the airline, otherwise how on earth can you land on the RHS directly without the FO experience)

Mistakes can be called by other names depending on the POV.

1-Well first of all MIA, for not having the lighting system up to international standards as per regulations.
2-The NTSB, because they rushed things.
3-The classical "Laissez-faire" American attitude when it comes to evaluate their own sub-standard aviation industry but keen on keeping the foreigners under close scrutiny.
4-these pilots for choosing MIA over HKG as long haul route

411a,

theoretically you can go on forever without making a single mistake, but at the same time you can be forcing others to make them in your behalf, ain't it?
Be well fly safe and take good care of that good old Tri-Star... we need her back at the museum in one piece.
