The same managers that would order an early and extended Happy Hour with the poor unfortunates forking out for much beer would, in todays environment probably have made an immediate press release along the following lines;


"The initial investigation into this incident confirms that, at no time, were the passengers, crew or aircraft in any danger. The navigation anomaly is the subject of continued investigation and if any action is necessary it will be taken. When the investigation is complete appropriate details will be made available to the aviation based press as information and guidance for other operators".


Personally I think that is what should have happened, turning a minor incident into a drama and the crew into pariahs isn't good management, isn't clever and shouldn't happen in the aviation industry. The meeting between the operator and the client remains, for ever, confidential.
