I was the other way PapaHotel6. I was a very junior F/O at the time and thought it had to be pilot error. I had no training in HF/CRM and thought I knew it all. Then reports of cover ups, documents being shredded, documents being removed from pilot's homes and I started to think "something doesn't smell right in downtown Auckland". Mahon got to the bottom of it and more.
The rest is history and until some new evidence surfaces, I will stick with the Mahon report. Have a Merry Christmas.
