Say, Gents...

For those who affirm the blame is only on the AF crew : So, case closed ? Nothing to learn from this accident apart that AF is bad bad bad ? Whoa...
Perhaps that idea pleases you, but what's the point, regarding safer operations

I have no idea of the difficulty of taxiing a liner, let alone a super. I rely on suninmyeyes' post (#67) here, which seems balanced to my untrained eyes.

Surely there are ideas to challenge.
What about a "don't leave the taxiway if you're not going to make it to the gate" rule, for example ?
What about aids for the crew of the A380, adressing the need to see your own wingtips in a crowded environnement ?

Cheers
