FOs mother spoke today of how her son had only just graduated so we can take it this was his first commercial job. Also she said on hearing of the accident she still held a glimmer of hope as her son was expecting to do a royal mail flight and must have been changed at late notice...yet another hole in the swiss cheese.
Also am I missing something with regards to saying it is bad practice, but legal, to shoot more then 2 approaches
If you have enough fuel to stay whats wrong with shooting as many approaches as you can till you hit the legal minimum of fuel needed for diversion/holiding/reserves, if alternate wx is good that is.
