I don't think anyone ever suggested there was a problem with the aircraft, rather a problem with the operator? I feel suspicious of the reaction though. If a Ryanair pilot did something stupid would they have grounded Ryanair? Of course they wouldn't have...
If things don't go Van Air's way I wonder who the new operator will be? There's not a huge number of options. Transaviabaltika? (Suggested only half in jest...)
