Why ? if you are going to bad-mouth them it is surely more convincing to do it with the proof there to refute any accusations we may make of unjustified slander. Or is it also just that "an accusation" ?

The videoclip you have posted does indeed seem to have two of Mikeys finest declaring a "Mayday", so, it seems to support the OP's allegation. Wonder where the TV company got the recordings from. . . . . the "Air Nostrum/Iberia Supporters Club" ? ? aka Madrid/Valencia ATC ?

I thought from some very distant memory that there was legislation relating to the release of these tapes, particularly when an "incident" is concerned (& declaring a Mayday is an incident in my book) or the "Spotters" were making recordings.

Or perhaps a bit of good old fashioned partisan protectionism has supplanted correct protocol.
Have KLM's calls being released, or didn't they bother as they "hoped" to land with final reserve fuel.
Anyways, the 2 Ryanairs sounded (at that moment) very calm about declaring a Mayday, so maybe they ARE making a habit of it ?
