beardy,
You say..
But it doesn't happen quickly unless it has to
I have no problem with that, indeed I would expect a thorough investigation to take a considerable amount of time. However, such a statement implies you believe that the investigation into the cause of the incident is quite probably not yet complete, in which case why are the aircraft flying again?
I have no issue with Airbus.
I have no issue with the basic A330 aircraft.
As I have already stated, I have issue with the (my words not theirs) "it's ok, you can take our word for it, we know best" attitude of MOD. Simply because, as has been proved time and again, MOD can't be trusted in this area.
