What's the problem.. The crew was only following company fuel sense guidelines?

Sum Tin Wong: "Captain, if we lose other engine, we will be up here all day!"
Wee Too Lo: "Recommend visual approach at destination."

"Good idea."

Wow! Talk about the Asian need to always build a consensus

From the article...

"A 47-member committee comprising government officials and experts will be assembled to look into the incident."

The powers that be asked for your input. Give it to them.

Write your FC, and the SCP.

Write your block rep and the MEC officers.

We aren't flying China Southern because of safety concerns that hit the news. Multiple.

We stopped flying MH for security and safety concerns.

Asiana has had numerous concerns. SFO accident. Crew failing to divert after engine problems to the point it is a major newsworthy investigation. Seems smile to me that we would stop flying it. Not to mention numerous concerns during investigation by the NTSB.

Oh, I forgot, it would cost money if we changed from Asiana due to throwing out the cheapest accepted fares in the system.

Write a letter. I did. Days ago. No response from company or association. (Didn't expect one.)

But hey, I get call in jury duty paid at 50%, so I got that going for me, which is nice...(and yet not too long ago, I got my call in Jury duty paid at 100%-twice-I guess I should start expecting less now and that way not be disappointed.)

I'm sure we are doing great this week with negotiations...
