Unfortunately an inevitbable situation which could happen to any airline/crew at the moment.. 20 years ago it was far less probable, even with inferior technology aircraft... now it's on time departures, min fuel, bare minimum training, ignore the little things... dare not write things in the tech log in case the next departure is delayed, fiddle the pax weights for the right perf figures ... it all waters down the safety levels and airworthiness authorities turn a blind eye until something happens and it's time to allocate blame.. The FAA has a few faults but they really do come across far more competent than EASA / JAR ever will ... lessons to be learned maybe?
