The only urge that should prevail Is that of the safety of you, your crew and the passengers, anything else is trivial.

Why they carried out an approach and willingly, deliberately and negligently bust minima will remain a mystery. I appreciate why the co-pilot might be persuaded to carry out this course of action due to lack of experience and maybe had a perception that this is the normal way of operating. However the Captain then should have a greater responsibility not to take the FO into such a situation.

Most pilots make mistakes at some stage however the blatent disregarding of safety related rules has no place in aviation.

Poor command decisions led to those deaths and it infuriates me. However I have the luxury of working for an employer who will wholeheartedly support me if I make a safety related decision that costs the company money.

Keep it safe
