Those of you who criticise and/or make light of the actions of the guys who spotted his error are undoubtedly the unsafest people in aviation.
Ouch!

A bit uncalled for, that.

A tagline that infers "disaster averted" in relation to a pitot cover, like disaster would have been a foregone conclusion if it had been left on, deserves a humorous rejoinder or 2, if you ask me.

Still, maybe I am a bit weird for finding the endless exaggerations of our free press quite amusing, and so perhaps I should jolly well serious myself up a bit!

Safe flying all (which for me personally still and always will include a checklist )
