You won't get me up in one of those...

It is truly frightening that this sort of pilot can exist. Reportedly an 'instructor' with the airline too. He supposedly flew the first of the 4 sectors to show the 'new' F/O how to fly the approach into Al Hoceima.

One has to say that the F/O obviously had not absorbed the tuition.

Too high on hashish or hubris, too low on approach...

One assumes they have both been canned for a flagrant disregard for SOPS, good flying standards and sense ...

Possibly a rash assumption.

I see there is some suggestion that the crew initially reported the incident as a 'birdstrike' to ATC (later corrected) - presumably a seagull sitting on the surface....... =))

Memories of the cartoon that appeared in Tegel Pilot briefing in July 1988 of two dishevelled birds sitting in a nest in a damaged tree at Mulhouse–Habsheim airfield
