It appears to me (from my comfortable armchair) that the problem may not have been 'not knowing which law they were in,' but rather
knowing exactly what each law entails. I agree with the statement that the actual law details are quite complicated, and it behooves anyone flying one of these things to know the law details backwards and forwards.
Yeah yeah DW, "Why did he pull?" is at the crux of the problem, but there is certainly more to this than that. Stop apologizing for the AB, b/c nothing is perfect, and truth is complicated. And I really am gobsmacked that you dare to argue with actual line pilots! With all due respect.
I await, with horrified trepidation, the next Airbus crash.
