. No wonder airmanship is considered irrevelent in the modern airliner.
Yawn

Wasn t it by the way the Canadian pilot who took off with less fuel than the minimum because of some fuel weight conversion issue?wasnt it the same captain who did not check fuel during cruise?

He saved the day but he wouldnt have had to show his superior skills had he done his work properly in the first place.

There is more chance of an old glider dying of a heart attack than a dual flame out with no relight possible....

Your thread is flawed.
