It would appear that this was a not a case of confusion
between the crew. Rather a mistaken call of 'Stop' by the Captain at V1/Vr instead of
rotate . Same skipper allegedly had an embarrassing incident the week before which resulted in a slide being blown after pushback.
One of those nightmare weeks where nothing goes right for you I guess.....
But makes one wonder whether the symptoms of rock bottom morale, crap scheduling, feeling like you're banging your head against a brick wall and constant apologies for the chaos at the Gatwick operation are beginning to manifest themselves.
Happy pilots = better performing pilots
