Atlas Identifies Causes of 747?s Landing at Wrong Airport | Aviation International News

Nice one...:rolleyes:

It seems like the results in this "analysis" might have been obvious the very first day.

Is the crew still employed? Do they still have their licenses? :confused:

Yes and yes

Well, thats probably one version of what happened and why…:rolleyes:

This is why its best to back up the visual with a precision approach and brief the runway lights as well. Sounds like they got a pass on this incident due to the faulty avionics plus a nice Chief Pilot.

If you were king, what would you have done with the crew and their licenses?

Being from Fedex, obviously he would promote them to management.

Got that right!

If they are there, absolutely.

Depends on the airline, they're particular culture/management, etc. Often times, it's NOT the CP's decision to ACTUALLY fire pilots for whatever happened. The decision itself can come from higher, with the CP simply being the hatchet man.

Besides, companies (especially with representation) are laden with CPs firing pilots willy nilly, only to have that reversed. And usually, because the CP was an idiot with a "fire friendly" mentality.
