Nope, not obfuscating either. Nothing for discovering the mistake, nothing for the go-around, and nothing for making a mistake. But the reason for the mistake matters as I've been very patiently explaining to you guys that seem only interested in seeing someone hang.photofly wrote:You're still, rather hilariously, obfuscating. Nothing for discovering the mistake ... good. Nothing for the go-around ...very good. What about the consequences for making the mistake in the first place?
The reason airlines have the best safety record of any facet of aviation (they do...really) is in large part because they realize people make mistakes for all kinds of reasons, and so devote their efforts to preventing them, capturing them when they do happen, and enacting measures to prevent them from happening again. Rarely is something just the crew's fault, there are often other contributing factors that if ignored will only increase the odds of it happening again. That's why there are investigations. You've heard of them right?
Investigations find out not just what happened but most importantly why. I get you and rookiepilot want to see this crew hang, and if after the investigation they are found to be negligent or willfully non-compliant with policy and procedures there will be consequences I can assure you. You'll probably never know if or what though. Tough shit.
There is no altitude, it's the reasons why as I've said. I know you would like me to say 500' is ok but at 499' the crew is shot at dawn, but that isn't the case. Should I explain why yet again?photofly wrote:"The airplane made me do it.", lol.
But seriously, at what altitude does a minor error excusable under SMS or some self-reporting schemes become negilgence worthy of disciplinary action?
I never said or implied that...pay attention.photofly wrote:"The airplane made me do it.", lol.
I'd go-around when I identified the necessity. Asking what I or anyone else would do who wasn't there is a fool's game.photofly wrote:Rockie, if *you* had been looking out of the window that night, at four airliners on the taxiway on which you were lined up, at what altitude would you have called for the go-round?
Again I'll bring up that word "investigation".photofly wrote:Who is the officer at AC who, with all the reports and interviews in from of them, makes the decision if this was negligence, and what, if any consequences the pilots should suffer?
