Well said pug...
What amazes me that in this Day and age the profession have more than their fair share of bullies, and as always, ignorant ones too...
What some are saying is that instead of IGS approach at HKG they should have closed the airfield, likewise with GIB when smokey Joe was moored off the rock as well as Zurich with the cloud break 16 followed by LH circling for 28...and cloudbase below 1000ft.
Then NDB approaches should be banned....
And on my first flight to Tirana we should have gone to Bari and let the pax take a ferry accross...
On descent FMS Nav dropped out...8/8ths with embedded CBs...no Albanian radar, mountains and of course a beacon approach....so we used the wx radar in mapping as well as CB avoidance...comparing the coast line with our paper charts...1992... Obviously beyond the capabilities of some of you...
And I suppose that the space shuttle landings were illegal as well...
No wonder some of you lot are paid peanuts ....
