Ok, I'm a lurker here (amongst many I guess) and after I post this I will probably return to being a lurker but...
1. the NTSB appears to be a bit of an ass (to use a US phrase)
2. the AAIB needs to kick some ass in its final report
3. Not sure what to say about BA. I don't know if coming back to base was the best option. But, again, I'll see what the AAIB says.
Looking forward to an authoritative update from the AAIB today.
