Experience
I believe the captain had got his command two weeks before the unfortunate incident........what was the FO's experience.
Another thing, everyone is assuming the the captain be the hero in this incident..........who was to say the young lady was not the hero of the day.
Look at her injuries.....broken ankles.....maybe from the rudder pedals.....broken wrists....maybe from the control column.
I think with the minimal facial injuries, one could assume that she was wearing her shoulder harness...(something I learnt in a Kudu incident that is essential and not macho).
As far as Fuzzy Lager goes, I think he was just stating his feelings as he obviously does know quite a few other things that have not been voiced here.....although, his choice of wording may not be the right choice given the day...
My question.....can a J41 fly on one engine????.....
I must say, I think the hostie had the worst ride not knowing what was going on.
