'CK" I think you might like to re-read my post, it was just a thought/opinion, no more no less. I'm sure when the event happened the pilots would have been caught unaware, just like the rest of us would have been, how they reacted only they know.
Obviously 'Kev09" knows a hell of a lot more than I know but if he is correct then some in here need to pull their heads in a little but if he's not then am sure he will say so but as for me? Well I think that just 'cause a report has ATSB on it doesn't mean it's totally correct!
Cover ups & balls ups are common place in ALL sectors of industry! Not saying that's the case here.
