Let's have the whole truth.
I'm looking forward to this becoming clearer, as I've been unable to imagine a situation where this is not the Captain's fault.
Was there....
No "I have control!"
No "Go Around!"
No inadvertant squeeze of the PTT as you say, "I insist that you relinquish control, Your Highness" for the benefit of the tape?
For the two bob that it's worth, the public view will be that Chuck made a mess of it, but he wasn't a real Pilot anyway. He had a full time job doing other stuff and was only getting the odd clutch, like this, now and then, as most of us have had.
My concern is with what the Nav's treatment says about a service inquiry. Perhaps if there are circumstances to exonerate the aircraft commander, they should have been made public. Are we to accept that this had never nearly happened before?
There are so many lessons to be learned from this incident, and yet the very people who ought to make them public seem content to keep quiet.
