This is such a simple matter really. According to driver320 he had a just cause to cancel the flight. And that is that! Of course as the captain he can call a decision like that with such weight. I would be very surprised if he doesn't win in court.
No one has ever lost their lives due to an encounter with ash polluted air heavy or light (unless they smoke) and that is over 50 years in aviation history
What an absolutely
idiotic statement! Must someone die before you change your mind. Perhaps the fact that nobody has died is testimony to safety measures being taken and in one very famous case, to very good airmanship.
So he got fired.
He will go to court and probably win his case
Thats all folks, lets bury it.
