And a nice day to you too Sire! Nice to see a posting that is intelligible rather than:
>>Blah Blah Blahdy Blah,
Whiney Blahdy Blah !!! <<
This thread, along with that appalling other one about emergency landing at London ex Cardiff maintenance, have really only served to denigrate professional pilots careers. The criticism of continuing away from Cardiff without one non essential hydraulic system (out of four), this alleged 'emergency landing at London' with a hydraulic failure, it all seems to bring the prejudices out of the woodwork:
411A's >>Hmmm, seems many here believe Superior Airways have stuffed it up, once again...hardly surprising, with BA's generally condecending attitude.<< (Is this person ill? Quite a judgement considering he knows hardly anything of the incident. A real professional would not have leapt in with both feet quite so prematurely)
It's all a bit professionally demeaning to pilots who are only doing their best and trying to do the RIGHT thing knowing their actions will stand up to scrutiny by their superiors. It used to be that incidents had a professional investigation before stones were cast. Now, instant Pprune judgement takes place on the sparsest of information followed by amateur criticism of professionals before the sun goes down. Perhaps if more people were prepared to WAIT a few days before firing off a broadside it would help. But in the meantime, we can all expect types like 411A to leap in without a thought (but a lot of prejudice!).
