Jetstar crew feared for their lives, inquiry told
Jet 'would not climb,
stalled
for several minutes'
Pilot, first officer 'were convinced they would crash'
Richard Woodward, the A380 captain representing the Australian International Airline Pilots' Association, said it was strange the Australian Transport Safety Bureau had closed an inquiry given that the incident was so serious.
"He (the pilot) was quite concerned and thought that they were going to die because of the severe weather event. It (the plane) actually stopped climbing for quite some period of time," Capt Woodward said.
