Sorry I do not work for BEA and I have no idea why Bonin's licence details were omitted in BEA report N°1.
IMHO, if something was wrong with Bonin's licence :
1 ) Bonin would
NOT have told his captain that he was qualified to operate as "relief captain" ;
2 )
I have no doubt that BEA would already have raised the issue.
(We are now TWO and a half years after the crash ! Don't you think two and a half years are more than enough to double check all these licence details ?).
IMHO again, it is high time to put an end to this "
urban legend", now.
For whatever reason Bonin's licence details were omitted in BEA's #1 report.
These details were mentioned in BEA's #3 report.
Full stop.
