Oh no! Here we go again. Was that the BA flight that was vindicated by the UK CAA, the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch, the US National Transportation Safety Board, Boeing and eventually, after much embarassed foot-shuffling and back-pedalling the FAA? Who else would have to give it the nod for you to satisfied MTW1000?
