The FR aircraft did NOT I say again did NOT do an overrun, but took the turn a bit to wide when manoeuvring for backtrack. Small mistake, no harm done though...
These things happen almost every day.
God it makes me angry to see such crap on the forum by would-be pilots. It is also very childish to put the name of the commander on this forum.
FR's AOC and regs. are Irish, a JAA country.
Britain can stand on their head, but FR only needs to comply Irish and JAA law, NOT the CAA one.
I am involved in Safety, and I must say that the FR safety management and culture is far better than some British ones...
example: FR is by my knowledge the only airline who puts on the seats next to the emergency exits other coloured headrest covers. Well done FR.
I do not work for FR, nor do I plan to in the near future, but as a commercial pilot, I do feel obliged to put some things straight here and uphold our profesionalism.
Goodnight,
Despegue
