BA hero wants to quit
BOAC
I hadn't seen the earlier post from Danny, but note that you quote him as saying:
...Which is why each time someone claims or states (mistakenly or presumptuously) that flap 20 was selected, I move the post to the WAG's thread...
I'm not quite sure why he has decided to do this - other than he's got fed up with the amount of rubbish being spouted about this accident - but it's his website, so he can do what he likes!
However, not all claims on this topic are mistaken or presumptuous, some are accurate, as, for instance, are the comments by M.Mouse.
The flaps were moved, from 30, by the Captain, prior to impact.
So that's another candidate for the move to WAG's.
Best regards

Up to him as you say! I understand that the internal reports state a move from 30 to 25. It is just surprising that the AAIB have not mentioned it.
See you in JB

Couldn't agree more. With the morons taking over and the idiocy introduced at the end, in the absence of any further news or confirmation, perhaps it is time to give the crew of this flight the privacy I think they have earned? And stop giving people a forum to apparently iron out their frustrations and take a general pop at pilots?
Please, can we shut this nonsense down and close this thread? It cannot do the captain, God forbid, any good to come here and see the rubbish being spouted.

Ba Hero
He's a HERO again in BA's eyes. I'm sure that will be little comfort to the man after the 'betrayal' he has experianced at the hands of a national disgrace.
Good luck to Mr Burkhill, may his skill, professional judgement and luck help him secure employment with an employer that actually gives a damn about its employees.

Ba Pr Dept
Exciting news for animal lovers. Primates have been filmed using a sophisticated “tool kit” to dig termites out of their nest. The videos show the British Airwars PR managers using a big stick, stripped of its leaves, to tunnel a hole deep into the nest. The administrators then dig away at the mound with theirhands and feet, before pushing a much thinner twig, with a frayed end, into the hole, and pulling out the insects that havecrawled on to it. The film, secretly recorded in the Grand Duchy by a team from the Thick Planck Institute in Mevagissey, is believed to be the first toshow Corporate PR bureaucrats systematically using more than one tool to accomplish a particular task. “They’ll betelling us how to do our jobs next” mused BA Hero Pilot Burkhill. Isn’t nature wonderful?
