3 Holer and Megan, I'm not arguing that there were not many links in the chain, I'm arguing that Collins made mistakes and asking for, or expecting exoneration is inappropriate.
I asked a while back if you guys were thought that the outcome would have been the same regardless of which Air NZ crew had been assigned to that duty, the silence was deafening. If you take the time to answer that question I'l set aside some time this evening to comment as invited. Remember, Im not suggesting Air NZ didn't cock it up, they did. I'm suggesting that Collins showed poor judgement and as such cannot be exonerated of all responsibility.
