There have been some (perhaps) tongue-in-cheek, (perhaps) flippant remarks in the forum about the crew likely to be considered for promotion for a safe job well done. Out of curiosity, what happened to the BHNL crew of 5N-BMM (crash at Port Harcourt in 2011)? Did they get promoted, returned to duty, retired? Just wondering.
@industry insider: yes, of course the aircraft is a write off, that happened the moment it turned turtle in salt water. Lifting it out of the water the way they did didn't help either. It would need a lot of spin not to describe such a write-off as anything but an accident. Not only concerned clients, I bet the insurer is feeling a little grumpy about it also. $250K BHNL investment to train a national crew (or whatever the number is) is cheap in comparison to the excess payable on a $7 million hull loss, plus insurance premium rises for years to come. Just saying.
