I am usually quite critical of the "Soviet Way", having seen a little of how it is in airBaltic (ex FO colleagues filled me in on the bits I missed) Nonetheless, if the 3 ! ! ! TU204 Overruns, by the same company, are proven to have been caused by the same dodgy WOW switches. . .what to say.

Looks like a 757, but. . . . funny not too many Western companies rushed in to buy these "bargain" 757's.

In the end, Russian aviation doesn't change in a hurry . . . be it A320 departures with loads of Xmas cheer on the wings/p1ssed pilots / take offs from ploughed fields. . . it all remains dodgy, VERY dodgy.
