I have read the posts and get the drift from many (particularly perhaps aussies/Q crew) that EK have handled it completely unprofessionally.
Yet, they have supported the crew and kept them in Mel. Sent a team down to support CASA's investigation and offered complete cooperation to all parties involved bar (I suspect) the press. So a nasty incident, lots of unfounded speculation and an on-going investigation. Are the comments maybe nationalistic in foundation? Bloody ***** have had a problem bet they did this, that and the other to avoid meeting their responsibilities. Its amazing how people join the dots based upon the registry of the airline rather than facts. Wait a week and you'll find out what happened in Flight and then see whether it was a crew issue, HF issue or technical issue.
