How do you feel about the fiasco at Perpignan? AirNZ didn't have the manual from Airbus Industries or understand the basics - like the gear must not be down. Slowing to see if the aircraft stalls - a factory pilot test - and on an approach, just to tick boxes. Were you pleased AirNZ could wriggle and let the poor German pilots take the blame? Did you resign in protest?
You are comparing apples with oranges old friend.
Ornis, this thread is about TE901 and the souls lost on the side of Erebus, so I am totally not interested in drifting into the Perpignan accident here. Happy to discuss some of the issues pertaining to Perpignan on another thread if you wish to start one?
Cheers
