Re-opening the Investigation

This fiasco has taken it's toll on all the accused, aviation people with years of experience who did nothing wrong, but in the Greek system heads must roll.

The First Instance court was a farce, and there is little hope that the Appeal will be any better. Unlike UK Courts the evidence is not important; the prosecution evidence is all from the accident report, but the defence is by non-Greek experts, all with years of experience but who are wrong because they have the temerity to question the Report.

Great that Ianko's Government has stood up and been counted. The UK Government has done nothing and is unlikely to.

The Greek AAI&ASB are not going to Re-open the investigation.

The UK AAIB has stood up and been counted, and they have told AAI&ASB that they consider that the original Report is flawed and the investigation should be Re-opened.

However, NTSB/Boeing don't want it Re-opened; I wonder why and it is to their tune that the Greeks will dance.
