politics

Politics has no place in safety critical industries or in accident investigations. Regulators & politicians are the ones who need to get a grip of this sort of thing.

The You Tube recording was of a crew finding themselves in a very tight spot indeed & attempting to stay calm & deal with it professionally. Maybe it wasn't perfect but few of us are.

If the pilots are guilty enough to be jailed, how about the regulators who are criticised in the report, the company management & specifically the person in charge of engineering shop procedures?

Of course there is the fuel number mis match but I don't find the report that clear on that issue.
