It never ceases to amaze me that people still manage to get the name wrong, I mean for goodness sake its in the title of the thread. There is no P in Thomson.
There are over 800 pilots in Thomson so while it maybe a regular destination for the company, for the pilots they may only go there once a month or fewer.
It has become increasingly difficult at PFO due to fewer controllers being around, the tower controller being the area controller and the ground/tower controller too. It makes for an interesting approach when you are number three and the atco is giving out departure clearances.
So to those who were very quick to lay blame, get out of the house and into sunlight and shut your cake holes about what you know nothing off. You were not there, you dont know any facts, you have no idea what was happening in the flight deck at that moment in time. Until the report comes out which does have facts, lay off the blame train.
The pilots at Thomson are very professional and it is a pleasure to fly with many of them.
