sarahc Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Why is this news? Not all pilots are "fog pilots". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshimajin Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'm with the pilot - if he is not qualified to land in that level of fog I'd prefer him not to take a risk whilst I am on board thank you. Sorry for Cassandra but passenger safety rates a little higher than her job interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 He made the right decision. He didn't have the correct rating for the aircraft, which simply means that the fleet has been updated and it takes time to get all the pilot's ratings updated. I'd rather land somewhere else then crash at my original destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombay Bad Boy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Persons with more specific knowledge feel free to jump in, but I was under the impression that on the way to getting a commercial pilots licence, you *had * to get an instrument rating, which includes very precise flight in all weather conditions, including zero visiblity (which is why it's called 'flying on instruments') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather land somewhere else then crash at my original destination. The pilot made the right decision. The airline made the wrong decision in putting him on the plane to start with. It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that most of northern Europe could be covered in fog. Where would he land then? S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
