to me it's simple It sounds to me like if the G/S was not out of service, this accident would not have happened. Therefore, the airport shouldn't be allowed to operate without it. Period. The proof is in the pudding.
Not an airline professional. Just a passenger killing time following this thread. I'm guessing my fellow passengers would all agree with me. My $0.02.
No G/S.?!?!
I'll bet if there were pilots on the jet that were not children of the magenta line, this accident wouldn't have happened.
