What happened to CP and PNR calcs ? Sh**t wouldn't you call up for an ACTUAL on the remote island, long before you reached that stage? i can tell you one thing the PIC and FO showed a remarkably disgusting display of planning/airmanship and duty of care. Neither would last five minutes on my team. Running out of fuel is an UNFORGIVEABLE sin in any aircraft let alone Island hopping to remotes. As far as the poor "pommy whinger", christ have a brain, these people placed their lives in the hands of incompetent idiots. Running out of fuel at night over water in extremely poor weather.......come on. Last but by no means least, there were 2 pilots.....one should have been the very last person out after ensuring all pax were safe. No argument.
