And for what it's worth, from what I've heard it was leg 1 of 2 after a 19 hr rest for this crew.

Sure, I feel that people should be allowed to make mistakes and their jobs should survive. However, mistakes as big as this and as terribly as this outcome could have been are inexcusable! There's plenty of qualified people in line to take their place.

It's things like this that make me paranoid to be in the back. I'm curious to know that if the outcome were different would you still have the same response? If this plane had run out of fuel and the pilots awoke to make an emergency landing and only killed half the people onboard, would you still be insistent that these pilots should keep their jobs?? Because after all, they saved half the people....that's better than none!
