Welsh Wingman,
I know it would take quite a bit of reading, but all these points have been raised in this thread over a number of years now, but every now and then, people like yourself bring up the subject again.
I doubt whether all the toing and froing has changed anybodies mind as to where blame lies.
To my mind the most important task of the crew was to bring the passengers back home safe and sound.
That did not happen, I have my opinion as to why this is so, many agree, many disagree, I strongly disagree with the legal findings, from a judge with no Aviation expertise, and strongly agree with the Aircraft Accident Inspectors report who had been involved in all manner of Aviation endeavours all his working life.
All of value to come out of this event, I hesitate to call it an accident, will have been well and truly assimilated into peoples memory cells, and hopefully such an event will not be repeated.
