Fatigue , Tired or complaisant?
To accuse the crew of flying fatigued is serious stuff today. And for Aircanada.
Some of you confuse pure tired with fatigue, different animal.
They most likely did only one sector before this one ,if any at all.
That is as easy as it gets.
Anyway, we know NOTHING about their personal state,so fare.
My money is on complacency , a common thing after 30 and, or 10 000hrs.
So that is always in my Threat and Error Brief.
I trust that The Union and AirCanada is taking proper care of the crew.
I would imagine the Crew contacted their Union and AirCanada asap after deboarding.
Someone wrote they were told to contact a FAA rep asap.
I shure as **** would pull that CVR Cb to prevent it being over written, if I got that message. Can always push it in if all are happy.
Now, that is Company procedure were I work.
Not in AirCanada as we have seen. It is going to be most interesting to see what communication took place between the different partys that evening , and morning. Before someone clued in and phoned NTSB.
Every year I write a handfull of reports, and never hear a thing back.
No news is good news.
In this case it was uttered at least 3 times on an open channel, full of nerds listening,that he was about to land on Taxiway C.
Did they think it was going to go away, seriously dude!
Gather the facts, call the Boss , tea no crakkers! Or not!
For now, if You are tired:
Fly the ILS
