I was in aviation for over 40 years and have spoken to a Pilot friend….his thought was they retracted the flaps instead of the landing gear.

He went as far to suggest that Lisa “pirouetted” over the balcony due to her ballet dancing skills !!

YES.

From memory that was a lady in St Kilda that fell !!!! Into a garbage Shute.

All hearsay Cliff … however the story has remained the same after chatting with long term Ballarat nursing staff in the area.

After chatting to an acquaintance who lived in Ballarat for 40 years ….if there were a third party involved could he be hesitant in giving up information in fear of reprisal.

This is what we call in Aviation “when the Swiss cheese lines up”.

Coercive control.

Big time CH there is a percentage that is added on to his salary. So that category of Check Captain equals a “Silk” within legal status. Qatar Airlines I’m only guessing would perhaps endeavour “save face”…don’t know.

Must get the book Troops. So he was a Check Captain there as well. Checkers are held in somewhat high esteem. Hard to believe that friends and family have not pushed the envelope to investigate what happened to this lady (or perhaps maybe they have to no avail). What a loose cannon !!

It would be interesting if LE investigated Crewing Departments from various airlines whereby GL worked to supply Rosters indicating RDO’s, Annual Leave, Sick Days ….perhaps to get a handle on other …um things!!

Rocket333…you need to refer to the legendary “Trooper” for further details.

Bugger…I planned on going however I have baby sitting duties this Friday. Look forward to your feedback.

Ha….I’m an old flightee (biscuit chucker)…I can apply lipstick in extreme turbulence and that’s as far as it goes Rocket.
