I mean no disrespect to Andrew, he's sadly missed. I have little doubt he was heading back to Bankstown because of commercial pressures. Experienced pilot for his age no doubt, but maybe lacking in life experience to know when to tell the boss "I wasn't prepared to risk it" and chance having to find a new job, rather than chance having to make a distant field on one engine.
That's the part which made it interesting reading the SMH article i posted earlier - commercial pressures - and having to find a new job - well that article suggested he was moving on to bigger and better things soon anyway
