It wouldn't be the first accident where industrial action was a contributing factor

My best mate was killed in Papa India - two days before an all out strike.
We were half trained because of a work to rule and held illegal licences.

The atmosphere was terrible, not only for us second officers but also for a few captains who tried to stand up to management.

Some were sacked, others were bullied.

The inquiry was a joke but not unlike those held by the British Empire, before or since, where corporate amnesia was a factor.

The industrial action was suspended....we still had rubbish terms and conditions...and we kept crashing aircraft.

The bean counters never learn as they don't have to take the risk.
