Then there must be a lot of extremely stupid people in the RAF. This attitude would NEVER be allowed in the FAA.
Fact
Then it could equally be said that the FAA is equally stupid since they must clearly, (by your statement), be expecting people to fly an aircraft that had had unexplained issues in the previous few days, that wasn't even able to climb to SA due to it's inability to deal with icing despite a marginal weather forecast, that had known, unpredictable and serious issues with it's FADEC, yada, yada, yada, the list goes on.
