PB, not at all. Well aware after 20,000 hours who gets to carry the can. And I know full well whoever may have had a hand in the event (management etc etc) will absolve them selves of all responsibility and point their fingers towards you know who. Just wait till the Norfolk Westwind ditching accident report comes out. I'm betting we will see much finger pointing - not me Guv, honest.
