Now they are saying that it was a bomb, but that might be to try and migrate world opinion.
Now if I was scheduled for a flight and there was some unusual repair work going on I would seriously consider going using a different airline or a/c hire outfit - possibly using another country :)
In the past when working for small FBO's (using the American expression) I downed the a/c when looking at the tech log reports from the last few flights when I had not seen a suitable repair note/ description etc. Luckily they had in all cases other a/c's that could be used.
Hmm, coming to think about that have done the same for sch. services as well just not so much.
Remember folks the pilots are the first to the accident and the survival rate is very low !
I am ignoring the pilot who glided down a heavy when fuel uplift was in pounds and not kgs - but he should have noticed a problem with the fuel gauges anyway both before t/o and during flight - may be I am old school - if anything can go wrong it usually does, so watch for every thing and more than once. Rule 1 Sods law.
