Leave me out of it
A cursory review of dogcharlietree’s post history indicates he/she may have been a crew member.
If so, well done.
No lives lost. A great outcome.

Interestingly where I used to work, in an evacuation the F/O could very easily be the first one down the slide/out the door.
Would be a bit harsh to question that 28 years in to the future.

An interesting chap whom I knew reasonably well prior to and around the date of the mishap - although I can't recall ever having flown in the cockpit with him.

As a matter of FACT, that article was requested by Jim Thorn. The highly respected accident Investigator, the late Macarhur Job, assisted greatly in the composition of it.

Yes and the reason is there are so many armchair critics who know it all and blindly believe and follow government authorities. So I let them wallow in their misguided glory.
Obviously people forget New Zealand's biggest peacetime disaster - and some say the nation's biggest cover-up. On November 28, 1979, an Air New Zealand DC10 crashed into Mt Erebus.
