Alas you are missing the point in your honourable rush to defend the Captain of this easyjet.
Despite my intention to consign you to the " Ignore List " I can't let this attack go unanswered.
I have never tried to " defend " this Captain. How can I without the FACTS - have YOU got them ? and in this instance he might well be justifiably to blame, although of course I doubt it, what I am trying to defend is that actions by the TECHNICAL CREW with regard to fuelling the aircraft are a TECHNICAL matter, which you stubbornly refuse to accept.
and ......... incidentally, try to dispel the automatic assumption that any aviation incident is caused by Pilot Error before the FACTS are known - as an example in this thread by a previous poster stating " this pilot stuffed up " ( or words that effect ) Did they KNOW ?
