The incident has also caused heated debate on a respected pilots forum website, with one telling of his disbelief at the blunder and criticising the pilots for missing the runway despite clear markings.
He wrote: 'Pilots miss all the visual clues and land on the taxiway. I'd be afraid to get on board with these two professionals.'
These things need to be discussed, but we really need an aircrew only private forum to discuss these things away from ignorant eyes and possible manipulation.
