Please, refrain from ad hominem attacks, and focus on arguments instead.
abovethesky, it wasn't an attack, merely a request for information!
It is relevant to the matter under discussion. Whilst having every respect for those having technical qualifications far superior than a mere mortal pilot, such as I, unless you have done or are doing the job as a pilot you really have little appreciation of what these pilots were faced with.
There is too much condemnation going on here of the pilot's actions, especially when we don't know all the facts.
