Brian, thanks. We can all understand how and why Collins crashed, and we can forgive. What we can't say is he was without fault.
The shambles at AirNZ was systemic and less forgivable. Nevertheless, most pilots at AirNZ at the time felt Collins must take some blame, according to my contacts.
This constant picking at a sore hoping it can be made to heal without a scar is absurd. It's not going to happen.
