What the heck is wrong with some of you folks ? A situation happened, it was handled, what right do you have to question a crew acting within the proscribed company SOPs ? Go play with your FltSim
Dude, it's a discussion about the appropriateness of the procedure, not bagging the crew for using it. If there's a procedure then the crew should use it, but is it a good procedure? And just because lots of companies do something doesn't necessarily make it good.
