What I find wierd though is, it has been filed by a US Attorney in a US Court as, under US Law, they can get more compensation.

Seems to me that the crew did a great job in dealing with this emergency, both tech Crew and Cabin Staff.
Pilots with a lot of experience between them. Did I read right where it indicated one of the cabin crew had 37 years experience. That is a mighty knock in anyones book. He or she would have started back in the 70's. I am firmly in the camp that subscribes to the theory that pilots must be and continue to be adequately paid to reflect the huge responsibility they carry each and every time they fly. I am a bloody nervous flyer and I want my pilots well paid and well trained. Good job |

Great airmanship
No question - very well handled when they couldn't trust what the instruments were telling them. The fundamental rule was followed - someone needs to fly the plane! And that's exactly what the Captain did while others attended to other duties.
As I commented early in this thread, fly by wire is great until the wire 'breaks'. Hopefully safety critical avionics software will be vastly better in the future as a result of this very conscientious ATSB report - all 313 pages of it.
