Yes, exactly, this is terrible journalism.
The young dispatcher chap involved is clearly not a pilot and does not understand why an aircraft with a shut-down engine might continue to EGBB instead of turning round and landing back at EGJB. This chap obviously doesn't understand anything about flying twin engined aircraft, ("if the other engine failed we would fall out of the sky"), how the size and orientation of a runway affects landing decisions, what aircraft systems one needs for landing, nor how weather conditions impinge on a landing, etc. etc.
So what does the paper do? It spends the majority of the 'report' focussing on and quoting the OPINIONS of said young chap who is a dispatcher at a small regional airfield, and who has NO experience or knowledge of aircraft operations.
They go and take a picture of the young chap and his girlfriend, who seem to have been told to have suitably serious/scared expressions for the picture.
It would be so much better if the papers had quoted the concerns of the dispatcher chap and then researched the incident and asked BALPA for a general explanation about engine shutdowns. Then the paper could have explained why the Captain and F/O of the Dash did what they did, that they handled the situation really well and professionally, and gone on to say that this is why us pilots undergo extensive training and assessment.
They could have celebrated the fact that experienced professionals do their job very well.
Daily Mail; what exactly are you trying to achieve by making out that everything in our country is crap? I would love to know what your motivations are.
