It amazes me as to how the media always seem to make heros out of pilots who screw up, ie the dead stick into Gimli, and the repeat perfomance of Transat, its worth noting that neither of these pilots captained an aircraft again for their respective airlines, for those" in the know" we all understand why this action was taken, as for the inquiry outcomes, at least one of them deserves the Pulitzer prise for fiction, suffice to say the "metric" debate was used to great advantage by some very able lawyers.
