Fair Go

Have to agree with Capt Claret, especially after listening to ABC AM this morning where the preliminary ATSB report says that the incident was the result of computer malfunctions and that the actions of the pilots were correct in every detail. Furthermore, the attempts by Qantas Engineering staff to blame off-shore maintenance was described as "scurrilious" and that QF off-shore maintenance was conducted by world class facilities. Let's hope the detractors of both the crew and the maintenance say a collective "Sorry". BTW, the aircraft was flown to Sydney overnight.
