Careful Ben S...

I'm glad you're out there asking & saying what others won't, but you too must get your facts straight if seeking to remain credible.

The statement referring to QF1 in BKK "with three engines shut down, and one spooling up" as they ran off the runway is, I believe, patently wrong. It is my understanding that the aircraft captain selected idle thrust on three engines having accidentally missed grabbing one of the thrust levers. That situation was resolved shortly after when the F/O retarded the remaining engine to idle. The rest is history. The final conclusions have been analysed ad nauseum; there were definite procedural lapses, errors and many contributing factors with the most robust criticisms levelled at management.

I trust you will keep chipping at the deceptive veneer and evasive misrepresentation perpetuated by the spin-kings; just keep your cred as you do it please.
