Definitely my last post on this....Promise.
There are always two sides to a story. LEAL was obviously identified as one half of the equation, I didn't and still do not know the other half.
Professionalism was the reasoning behind my question, exactly to try and find out what happened here. With hindsight, yes I jumped in like a local bobby; yes JW, aviation psychology is out of my remit; but ultimately, I would still like to know the operator's viewpoint.
Not trying to apportion blame;
Not trying to police EU g/a industry;
Not trying to gain a scoop in the national press.
Part of my job, dislike it as I may do, is to oversee safety and operational aspects of a certain mumber of European g/a operators. Hence, my "need to know".
Jumped in: yes;
Media agenda: no.
One can never stop learning on pprune.
Cheers LGW

Hmm,
Seem to have stirred something up here.
As to the verbal response from the pilot, not too much should be read into this as 1) I seriously doubt he was as calm as he sounded and 2) since his English, although very good, was not his first language, the literal content of his statement may not have conveyed accurately his assessment of the situation.
Many years ago I had a 75' airmiss in a cloud with a pair of Jaguars. At the time my response on the radio was pretty calm and measured. This did not last long after landing!
