Qantaslink Dash 8 engine failure
^This. This is why I love flying freight. Know it alls trying to critique a situation they know less than nothing about.
Haha and quoting reddit as a 'source'. Fark now I've seen it all. Yes I am also a redditor, mostly gonewild though
. If you want some sage advice, read the posts by the redditor I RATE HATS on your font of all knowledge. He seems to know what he is talking about.
Edit: the^ not directed at Sunfish

I'm interested - let's say you were sitting in the jump seat that day and all of a sudden a bunch of cautions and the Master Warning goes off for low engine oil pressure. What do you think happens up the front and how long do you think each step takes?

Ozmd,
Having read newspaper articles about a number of aviation incidents that I've been directly involved in as the captain, I can say that not one was wholly accurate, very few bore much resemblance to the truth, and as a result I now treat events reported in the media with ever more scepticism.

OZMD,
Are you saying that because they used emergency services for a gear failure (standard procedure because of, wait for it, the increased risk of fire due to the possible collapse and fuselage contacting the runway) they should have used it for a OEI approach? If not I fail to see you point?

Fairfax press owns the Daily Liberal??? Cripes, that is an oxymoron!!!
Ozmd, you are out of your depth. The incident was handled very professionally, the correct decisions were made and at no time was the aircraft, passengers or crew in any elevated risk of danger. The passengers were statistically safer than being on a serviceable Greyhound bus, although I accept what appeared to be the circumstances may have been a little frightening for the passengers.
