To be fair Talparc, the email from STC is exactly what I would expect from any sitting CEO in a situation such as this, it is in my estimation nothing other than a request for a bit of discretion at a sensitive time.
Allow me to disagree, MM. I have never read any such thing in a
first statement of a CEO to his employees. TC knows what is at stake and he is obviously very nervous. Therefore the veiled threat, at least that's the way most employees take it.
In respect of this accident I'm sure that every aspect will be thoroughly investigated, including the crews rosters and previous experience.
I admire your faith in airline investigations ..... not.
Unfortunately i have very closely witnessed a fatal accident some time ago and the final report and findings were very revealing and disappointing to insiders.
Industry and political/national interests are well protected, believe me, and i am talking about a place in the western hemisphere.
Here we talk about two involved nations with a quite different attitude towards the truth ......
