This accident happened nearly 40 years ago but now we have some instant experts who profess to know exactly what the cause was.

40 years ago, so what, many of us were actively aviating at that time. And the "causes" have not changed at all.



Was it not the ALPA people who insisted that their senior captains all have a "turn" at this perk flight?
It was a simple case of pilot error. The reason for the continued argument is that Mahon was duped by the union and botched things up, and the union then sought to enshrine its victory.

Simply put, the airline placed their crews in a situation where errors were more likely to occur. They simply weren't trained for what they were being asked to do.
Be interesting to know what aviation experience they have that they can make these profound statements.

Nothing profound about any of those statements, simply the facts seen a different way then the Mahon report. .
