Bugger off - it's *bloody serious* - they're idiots!

They displayed a lack of due dilegence to the extreme.

I think their excuse is a one big lie too.



If you don't believe their story, than you have little to go on in
judging the seriousness of their actions.

I share the belief that the FAA action was hasty. I am not
suggesting leniency, but a suspension for the time it takes to
complete an investigation, then certificate action based on and
proportional to the results of that investigation would be a much
more suitable position for the regulatory authority.

Can you come up with a mitigating circumstance for the loss of
control and responsibility on the pilots' part that would justify
any lesser remedial action? If the outcome is inevitable, why should
the FAA wait to act?


It's called due process. Maybe you've heard of it?

Not in relation to actions by the FAA. ;-)
