Captain Tango - you intrigue me!
I have to say that this is not an idle story but I am somewhat limited in my ability to answer lest I embarass individuals within the company who would wish to remain anonymous. Suffice to say that there is a great deal to be concerned about about this incident and other aspects of what is going on. This is not malcontent talk or idle rumour. My previous comments hold good. The MOR that was originally filed was a much watered-down version of the truth. If that subsequently changed due to pressures from pilots within the company, well and good. The fact remains that an effort was made to cover up what happened.
Parttimer - you should edit your post immediately to remove all reference to your source to save embarrassment to the individual you quoted as it could rebound on him in a big way. I hope it has not done so already.
