So he was under pressure.I do work for a domestic US airline, and it should be noted that I do not represent such airline, or any airline. My opinions are mine alone, and aren't reflective of anything but my own knowledge, or what I am trying to learn. At no time will I discuss my specific airline, internal policies, or any such info.

Have you found the link to the audio yet? I didn't realize it was made public.I do work for a domestic US airline, and it should be noted that I do not represent such airline, or any airline.

Originally posted by Northwester View PostThe prosecutor refused to open an investigation and that was the end of the story.
Anyway, after reading that article, and noting that both the PIC and F/O of the accident flight were present that day and well aware of the ensuing damage to their former PIC's future career, do you still doubt that VIP pressure was a major factor?

And again, after listening to the CVR recording, there is no indication whatsoever of stress, pressure or nervousness. Routine conversation, few jokes (some about their superiors).

Do not walk down that street with me. Ever! I can tell you have never slid on that ice.
I'd say he was well covered.

He was under intense pressure. He did the correct thing and in my eyes his actions were heroic.
He is fortunate that someone recognized the value in what he did and stood up to someone that high. Few live through the experience.
Promotion by association or quid pro quo is more the disgusting norm.Live, from a grassy knoll somewhere near you.
