Wink Trans Air Congo Accident?

Well, it took longer than I thought, but on a previous thread (what would you do?) I mentioned I would be watching the news.

Now I hear TAC has wrecked half of their Boeing fleet in Benin. Fortunately I don't think anyone was hurt.

Does anyone have any details?

I understand both of the pilots were Iraquis. The Capt had been previously grounded for "unsafe" flying and the F/O washed out of upgrade training.

Once again the old adage: You pay peanuts, you get monkeys...

I believe it is the other way round:

When you get monkeys, you only have to pay peanuts..

DI3G:

After listening to that "little voice" and speaking with you a few months past. I am glad I declined your invitation to fly in your operation in Congo.

Best regards,

G3

PS. There may be some 72 work in this hemisphere before Christmas, if it develops, I will email you
