This has to be one of the most hypocritical and contradictory posts I've read in a while...

And then you go on to do exactly that to the SG incident.
Sg was deliberate atempt of get-home-itis...low fuel, low trained pilots and shitty equipment! They left the runway and took off from the grass putting crew and passenger in danger....were on two diffrent wavelengths here gentlemen!
Talk about stupid, speculative comments. Here's some rumour for you...it's starting to come out from the YYC findings that the SG flight actually touched down on the runway, departed the runway, and because of the low vis, didn't know where they were and elected to go around due their high speed. Right decision? Who knows. We weren't there. But I'll bet your boys in YHZ have some sympathies for low-vis approaches...
Oh, and it was a senior check captain on that flight, so you can forget your "low trained" crack. Unless you're ready to have the captain of your YHZ flight, whom I understand was check A, held up to the same ridicule. Personally, I think you're on EXACTLY the same wavelength here, and it's pure arrogance to state otherwise.
And its incident-no injuries and minor damage....does matter how it happened for the idiot who thinks hes a transport canada official!
Damaging the flap canoe is minor damage?! Who's the idiot here?! Maybe you can MEL the winglet, but the flaps? lol
"reportable aviation accident":
(b) the aircraft sustains damage or failure that adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft and that requires major repair or replacement of any affected component part, or
Maybe they'll just sign the logbook and ferry back to YYC? I don't think so.
Until the report comes out shut up and stop acting like you know you shit...
You might try taking your own advice. And again, why is it your post consists more of bashing SG than trying to offer an explanation for your own woes? Newsflash: SG isn't even around anymore!
