Balus, do you really think that Russia or China are an appropriate place to dump of a recently deceased baby and her grieving parents for an autopsy?
China is exactly where this couple meant to take their deceased infant. (Changsha)
Going to PEK instead of HKG wouldn't have made this poor baby's last trip any slower or more painful for her parents.
As Balus said, many questions remain unanswered. In fact, the whole thing seems fishier as it unravels.
And no, pulling all the stops, including those which safeguard the safety of the remaining 300 pax, is not a heroic thing to do in the circumstances.
As much as I would not want to spend a second in the shoes of these poor parents, professionalism trumps emotions. For better, and for worse.
Isn't that what command courses are all about?
