bottom line, it happened,
spare a moment and think of the crew,
right now they all wish they were not rostered for the flight.
Analyze all you want, pontificate away, but the incident is what it is.
It will undoubtedly come out, and they will stand or fall on the results, but either way the crew is currently reliving every minute, every action, and every decision made.
It is so easy to discuss an incident, and more times than not assess instant blame, but between these guys there is hundreds or thousands of ops normal departures, this one is not, so lets remember that a trained professional proven crew is involved.
It hits home that, regardless of experience, and ability, we are always only as good as our last flight.
I don't work for EK, but in the end we all do the same job. Those of us that do, ask yourselves how you might feel sitting in the hotel right now.
