Wouldn't the situation been a great deal easier if aircraft were equipped with a FF meter on the engine and another in the fuel line within the wing structure.
I am left with a feeling that the overcomplicated automatic fuel transferring on the A330 has contributed to any confusion that the crew may have had establishing whether they had an engine fuel leak or a wing fuel leak.
Nothing these days seems as simple as the checklist suggests, I suspect because the checklist was drawn up with both eyes on the product liability laws.
After every incident like this I question "how well would I do in that situation?" I have yet to find a situation where I know that I would have done any better and incidents like Soux City fill me with admiration for the guys involved.
No doubt the experts will tell us how to do it better; with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.
