They have ruined a great airplane

Awww come on, that thing looks awesome!

There is SOP, there is training, but it is too expensive to fly the airplanes. So currency suffers. Everyone of my old bud P-3 pilots would recognzie the proper response to this situation. It us something you practiced and checked on a regular basis. That is flying on two engines and loosing one of the good engines.

You can argue currency all you want, however, this was a loss of SA by all in the flight station that day. This samething happened over 20 some years ago....same drill!
