What are those messages about his career being ended by PTSD and Qantas not being supportive about it? I just read down the whole thread, maybe I got it wrong.

There is a story in today’s Sydney Morning Herald about the litigation against Airbus and Northrop being settled on confidential terms. It’s behind a paywall, but you might be able to read it anyway as you are allowed free access for a while (or just delete cookies).

If you can't get it on the SMH site for whatever reason, have a look here.

Startling honestly and frank account from the pilot.

That is simply an amazing and very brave story. I take my hat off to him. So much more guts to write that, than another Qantas pilot wrote about ‘ how I am a really great pilot and something bad happened .. did I mention I was a really great pilot?’

I agree, and particularly liked the statement accompanying one of the photos in the book referring to the F/O on QF32 as "the hero pilot"... ouch, RDC!
