Leonardo knows how to handle an incident. Airbus could learn.
I dunno, Sultan. Leonardo's press release was strategically ambiguous. "Nothing wrong with the transmission", and in the same breath "crew complied with RFM direction and ditched". As an owner or insurance company I could rightly be peeved at such a statement. As far as the whole "ditch the bitch" sentiment, there would be no 92's flying today if all of them followed the RFM on an engine fire warning. Like Megan said, sounds easy in daytime warm flat water, different story where you will statistically lose a few even with a good ditching.
