Who knows, before the end of the year it will probably be; they overflew by 500 miles and landed on fumes with one engine flamed out and a flight attendant at the controls because the crew was passed out drunk and flying in their underwear!
sorry I was making a SWAG as part of my points. I guess in my eyes call it flying over your destination by 1 mile, at cruise, probably is the same level of mistake regardless of the track miles flown past that point since TOD is generally about 125 miles out.
not throwing stones just trying to say sometimes we all need a look in the mirror and hopefully the crew in question in this thread was the problem and not the airline directing this by not wanting to pay for de-ice fluid!
