Okay obviously you don't like that statement.

Do you like the opposite?

“To stay airborne for more than 30 minutes after the fire was first noticed is NOT a pretty long time” says Georg Fongern with astonishment, himself an Airbus pilot with Lufthansa and representative of the international airline pilot's association IFALPA.
After the crash of Swissair flight 111 in September 1998 which has been caused by cockpit fire, pilot procedures regarding fire and smoke in the cockpit had been fundamentally changed. “If there was a landing opportunity, which the UPS pilots had, then one CARES about the cause of the fire, but DOESN'T land the plane as soon as possible”
