Whatever happened to BEX?

[eatme]

Even if true, this in no way condones the cavalier attitude that was exhibited by all the 'cowboys' in the "training" dept. at that time. The introduction of multiple system failures unrelated to the initial emergency that was being evaluated; at night over water with no horizon, at less than 2000' was plainly stupid and a causal factor in the crash. Anyone who was there at the time could have fallen victim to these morons who lorded over all.

I agree, Even as a Mech and student pilot,I think a crew could be over tasked under that cascade of issues,and would be unrealistic.I would have diverted to an ILS runway,or VMC if able.But I feel the truss failure makes this a moot issue,If what I think happened really happened,If you know what I mean.

I love flying with the 601 guys. They are a great group of folks. Sounds like BEX was a great company back then.
