Anyone see the final on the investigation? BBC NEWS | World | Europe | France investigates Airbus crash (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7098547.stm)
Not being familiar with the 340, and what was the name of this
"company" hired by the airline to do these pre buy tests? :rolleyes:

The company were GAMCO (now ADAT) - they do all of Etihad's maintenance.
All the Engineering staff at Etihad (apart from MCC) are GAMCO staff.

Mr Mark,
I assure you that it was only Airbus or Airbus contracted people at the controls when that MESS occured. NO Abu Dhabi/GAMCO/Etihad/ADAT employees had anything to do with it.

Seems odd that Airbus could make such a mistake but, it is true.
