I believe after reading the report about a year ago the thought that passed through my little brain was more about the weight aspect and the ability to climb with a 757 crew all their crew bags and any other weight on board this Cessna. The importance of feathering etc is also very important but mass & balance is something that should be looked at closely before we even get airborne. Pressure from the airlines to get crew from A to B no questions asked was also a cotributing factor. My girlfriend flies with Mytravel/Airtours and I am pleased they have changed the way in which they position crew-such a damn shame it took this accident for the suits to look up and change things.
May they rest in peace.
