I flew on the DC10 with them back in 2004 and frankly, they were dangerous.

The levels of complacency and non-adherence to SOP and other safety procedures was unreal.

Two go arounds with full flap and gear down and comments 'it won't accelerate'. Mmmmmm . . .

Rate of descent of over 2000 fpm at 200 ft with GPWS screaming 'PULL UP etc' - the copilot (PF and trainee) shouts 'disregard'. All this despite at least 3 calls of 'Go Around' from me. The training captain, never said a word, from start to finish. Next day, he told me I was right to call 'Go Around' - fortunately were on centre runway (34C?) at JED.

Flying under the anvil of textbook CB etc etc.

Need I go on?

I wrote a report for the UK CAA and it is my understanding, they WERE blacklisted (if only for a while).
