Not reading any reports....this comes from talking directly to the flight crew while they were awaiting incarceration. I merely stated what the crewmembers told me of the incident, but all you monday morning quarterbacks and video analyzers know better than what the crew told me, Im sure.
As previous check airman and GS instructor for the B747 fleet at TDX, i had an interest in what happened and incorporated all info into a CRM class about the matter, which did not settle well with many in the company....found that every department, as i previously mentioned, was at fault in some manner or fashion. In the end, the crew were the only ones to be fired.
But of course, this thread is full of idiots like some have mused.
