I suspect they've been given a fairly stern talking too (and a stongly worded letter to all "taxyers" in the UK) and a slap on the wrist. Little point prosecuting a 70 year old non-flyer and a ground engineer who was poorly advised into sitting in the right hand seat.
I'd like to see the "CAA report" referred to in the Mail and Express articles. Unless it was written by someone who's never operated a large aeroplane, or by someone who plays golf with the pilot, I cannot believe it blames or criticised the engineer.
Quote: A Civil Aviation Authority investigation blamed the co-pilot, who was not named, saying he froze under pressure and forgot to hit the brakes.
Cannot believe a word of that. Toe brakes anyone - or had the pilot forgotten he had them?
