Give the crew the professional courtesy they deserve, and lets wait for the official report before resorting to airmaship pointers!(as that demonstrates the complete lack of knowledge and understanding of the demands required in today's airline flying)

I wouldn't be surprised after a double Melbourne, few days in a row, with consecutive early's and minimum rest, and no doubt a host of other issues, that when the config warning should have done its job it didn't.

Interestingly how incidents/accidents have skyrocketed internationally over the last two years. They have been increasing proportionately with no other than with the mentality of today's management practices. This has been highlighted by the US Airways Pilot- but all is falling on deaf ears!

Joyce's mentor has had the same proportionate run of incidents over in Europe, but O'leary will of-course dismiss that and instead lay it all at the feet of the ''overpaid under-worked primadona's''(his words)pilots.
The bankers gave us the financial crisis, now its the turn of airline management.
