Meekal - I think it is time you 'came clean'? Your talk about what the other pilot said to you at AMS 'in the cockpit' etc etc - Straight question - do these words from the Tribune from an article by [email protected] sound familiar? Post #71?

"A doctor buries his mistake. A pilot is buried with his. Even though I sit 7,200 miles away from the scene of the crash, the shock was palpable. I have lived in Islamabad for 25 years. I love commercial aviation and have read countless books on the subject with a focus on flight safety. Despite many air accidents that we read about, flying is the safest form of travel. It is calculated that if you were born on an airplane and flew in it and never got off, you would not be involved in a fatal accident until you are 78 years old. Those are pretty good odds."

So - PIA pilot or not? It will colour our judgement of your comments somewhat. We also prefer that journalists declare themselves clearly.
