Temp & ebt
good points.
I think however the very overt grabs by Westy & Co were and & are very deliberate -
Whether the intent of constantly repeating their JQ company line was to mitigate the possibility of the Manilla angle being beaten up, or to deflect AF447 connotations or;
... if it was to actually underscore the cred of JQ, through the integrity of Q Engineering, (one expects it was the latter).....it was the on air delivery by Westy and JQ's Chief Pilot which was a little amatuerish, and that has prompted some to react.
Just gives rise to the old chestnut that unless you have experienced seasoned journalists who actually fly doing the media roles,
the stories and messages published/broadcast will be at best pragmatic speculative and most likely sensationalist.
The real story is the safe handling of any irreg such as this one is a proof point of quality training and having professional people in control.
