- No one gets fired from DLH by notion of the pilotsī reps.
(Itīs not possible legally, even if they wanted to, which they wouldnīt.
What a load of crock!)

- ALL Revs at least unlocked always is SOP on a non-"non-standard" landing.
Whether that makes sense from a probability/financial ("what if the #2 doesnīt close") view point is a different question, but it sure is not unsafe.

- Manual flight/manual thrust is not a "MUST", but makes sense most (!!) of the time, and thatīs how itīs taught.

Weīre talking about a "standardized production" with several thousand pilots and several hundred aircraft involved that are to be kept extremely interchangable within rather narrow margins.

Landing loads: 2G, >2G and finally >>2G - make me cringe, but are just facts without further background.

The final report will come frome the DGCA (KSR) in "a year or so", is whatīs been told.
