Surely all the documents the company had to hand would have only supported your position that they were squeaky clean.
I do not think anybody in this thread has stated the Company was "squeaky clean", that has been accepted, there were faults there granted. But they did not cause the accident, one thing caused the accident, the decision to descend against all the requirements laid down by the Company and CAA.

All these mandatory requirements have been quoted many times in this and other threads appertaining to this accident.

apart from giving some the satisfaction of 'knowing' what the cause was.
Exactly, the "probable cause" was given in the only official document relating to this accident, that was the report compiled by the Aircraft Accident Investigator, Ron Chippendale. Mahon report was but a legal opinion. That ground has been covered to, many times.

This subject keeps getting dragged up in this forum, and when some people try to tell us to respect the "deceased", and then carry on to pile abuse onto the late Ron Chippendale, then those of us who believe he was correct are going to say so.
