OUT of curiosity, would you rather:
a. land at the wrong airport, not kill anyone and have the plane reused the next day.
b. land at the right airport , kill passengers, and destroy the plane.
Sorry, but that is just stupid. Not a great thing to post.
This discussion is running on many forums, and is split into two similar camps. One thing however, is that these two pilots were experienced and fully trained ATPL. They are not imbiciles. So, why????
There is a stronger set of circumstances underpinning any error like this, and the industry would do well to identify, expose, and then attempt to make right, in a transparemt way. We await the report, and assume it will be drawn up fairly, and hopefully, with some recommendations.
