I'm sure the pilot that was blinded by the l@ser may have felt some discomfort and eye irritation, but dumping thousands of pounds worth of fuel into the environment and inconveniencing hundreds of passengers strikes me as gross incompetence on behalf of the flight crew.
Well this certainly ranks as one of the most moronic posts I've ever read on PPRUNE. One pilot incapacitated, even only partially, is a very good reason to stick it on the ground somewhere as far as I'm concerned. To start throwing around accusations of 'gross incompetence' is nothing short of jaw dropping.
