G'day Tailwheel,
Fair enough on the locking of the SQ evac thread on Dunnunda but I just wanted to pick you up on your statement that no injuries meant the right decision had been made.
That's false logic. The outcome doesn't determine whether the decision making process and indeed the ultimate decision was the right one. There are plenty of examples where great decision making processes have resulted in people still dying (though possibly less than would have otherwise) and poor decision making resulting in a favourable outcome.
My concern is that your comments on the thread will result in some younger pilots will accepting your authority as fact when it's not a true statement at all.
If you want to lock the thread then by all means do so but your editorial comment is incorrect in principle and may turn out to be incorrect once the investigation is complete.
A great outcome doesn't mean a good decision.
Thanks for re-opening the thread so I could say my bit.
