SAS I can't disagree with you on the points you raise but i am quite pragmatic and maybe a little cynical and i did say i was only playing devil's advocate.
The possibility remains that because the pilots did not follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding this type of event i'm reasonably confident that with the right lawyer "spin" the crew will be blamed for this, at least in some way.
I don't agree with it but i am a realist and i'll be surprised if any opportunity is not fully exploited to lessen the bad
PR effect this incident has on the manufacturer.
But as i said SAS i agree with you and your cause.
