in reality the trial is not about whether the 'pilot go it right or not' it is about the law and the two are very different creatures. for a clear and unbiased understanding of what is happening in Perth I suggest the interested get their hands on and read "Just culture" by Sidney Dekker.
it is quite likely that the pilot will come out of this besmirched and sullied - but for that you cannot blame those who brought the action as it may be the only means by which they will achieve any compensation for injuries and loss.
if you read the book you will also realise that as an industry we do need to be vigilant if we are to retainany semblance of a 'just culture'.
