Tango24, it is inaccurate, ill informed statements that you have just made that leads me to believe that you were the idiot providing quotes for that ridiculous examiner article..
And equally so, idiotic ideas you are spouting that tarnish a good mans reputation.
Firstly, 11 out of Xakanxa is done by most operators, in fact I have been on board with 12+1. (with a different operator)
Secondly, to imply that, because Martin had resigned, he would have been careless is clearly the comment of a small minded, petty individual. You say you knew Martin? If that was truly the case, you would know that he was always the professional, and as he had resigned, less inclined to take unnecessary risks (what were they going to do, if he had an issue with weight, fire him?
Lastly, whether there were 2 or 11 on board, if the plane had an engine failure, which all statements lead to, his options, in that situation still were limited.
