Or did you mean a more high profile incident should lead to a harsher verdict, regardless of the evidence?
No - the higher profile frightens their Lordships into knee jerk reactions!
“Only when there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever should deceased aircrew be found negligent.”
As I asked before does this also cover Pilot error? I always thought that negligence was considerably higher up the scale. Genuine mistake - Pilot error. Being a prat et all - negligence.
Seldom
This is not an argument but a discussion, and of course you do not offend. I am of the mindset that thinks on the balance of probabilities on the day these poor chaps could be accused of Pilot Error. That's all.
Without clear, concise and fully substantiated evidence how can anyone possibly KNOW exactly what happened that day.
Intelligent experts can, and have in the past, come to conclusions in the circumstances you quote above. "Exactly" maybe not - but 99% sure based on the evidence available maybe.
I do not put myself in that bracket, but I have a point of view........
