Thanks, wow was quite a while ago. They definitely kept this hush-hush... Interesting comments on that link about 'skygods'.

Due to this reason, is there a curiously low crosswind limit on the A380?

Airbus Industrie instructor training a new Korean skipper! Korean pilot demoted back to his previous fleet as punishment.

I won't call that a demotion, he just returned to the most preferred 777 fleet in kal.
Try a stunt like that as a foreign pilot, your days would be numbered.

Photo was doing the rounds on Facebook quite a while ago....story goes the pilot added aileron input when de-crabbing, when apparently the aircraft puts some in as well...
