This sort of thing will become more common as hand-flying skills reduce.

Read Shed Dog Tosser's new book "Threat and Error Management - Who Cares?", coming to a aviation bookstore near you soon!

SDT, perhaps you should ask the punters down the back how they felt with a few minutes fuel left.

I recall a recent Air India Express incident where a company had lower crosswind limits than what the aircraft was "demonstrated" to. Perhaps that needs to start happening here.

As long as they used correct R/T procedures, I'm sure the rest would have just fallen into place.
Er
Disgraceful!

Don't forget Busselton.
