Terrified of hand flying above 500' (too much workload)...always descends on the FP profile...regardless of conditions or need...happy to critique if you roll on on in the box, but are 1/2 knot below Vref...and routinely drives the struts through the wings and drops masks.
So it would be best for you...and others who choose to shoot first, to as they say down South, "set your ass down" and wait until ALL the facts are out. There may well be more that plays into this that is known and has an impact on what happened.
Or, as the Indians say, "better silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt..."

That said sir, perhaps it time to regain your professional persona and cease with the unwarranted barbs. As you are not a member of the posting or thread police on this site, you also need to relax and allow other to express their opinions regardless if you agree or not.
Please read and respect these words of wisdom which you posted.

If you think, "Sure, I can totally see myself landing at the wrong airport in a modern jet, it could happen to anyone!" Then you, my friends, are just as dangerous.
It does not happen to 'anyone'.

I guess we'll have to wait and see the video at the JetLag. I love all of you pious ba$tard$.
