Ref #1746
Hi,
Even if TCT had not herself claimed that it is a SOLO flight, she must surely be morally/ethically responsible for the results that followed; unless she is totally UNAWARE of the glowing solo reports in the main media and elsewhere,including that bold statement of the solo achievement awarded by the Ozzie Women's Pilot Association(inscribed on the certificate that she received). In a sense she's responsible for what her team has done,even if she had no direct hand in the phrasing etc.
Careful choice of words and juxtaposition by the
PR team and releases on emulating AJ's SOLO flight has been taken by,less discerning readers/reporters ,to be what TCT will be doing.
I will accept an arguement for diminished responsibility if she can show that she was uncomfortable with all those SOLO reports and had told her
PR team that what they were doing or had drafted were wrong and that they should correct the wrong reporting by the world's press.
I mentioned earlier that in this day and age,all she needed to do was to put a statement in her FB,saying press reports of her flying solo was wrong.This would have cleared the air much earlier.
Cheers
