And who would you believe? The lawyers sitting in the back with zero flying experience, or the three professional pilots on the flight deck?
These lawyers, with NO FLYING EXPERIENCE, were convinced the 3 pilots were wrong. Who you gonna believe?
Just curious.
That's easy Pineapple. I would believe what the FACTS say. I would look at the flight data recorder and the local airport's windshear monitoring data. That's what I would believe. Not ANYONE'S opinion. Not even the opinion of the pilots in the cockpit.
Now let's move to the question of ALPA's "expert" lawyers: Do those lawyers state FACTS, or do they state OPINIONS?
Second question: Do neutral arbitrators and judges state opinions, or do they issue RULINGS?
Last question: Why does ALPA not want to seek the ruling of a judge, and instead, hang their hats on OPINIONS?
