Zaharie Ah...An Open Letter to the Children of Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah Flight MH 370.<br />Your father has been subject to much vexatious speculation since the disappearance of Flight MH730.<br />Most of this spurious rumor mill material does the originators little to no credit & should not be dignified by rational response.<br />Even at this stage many people owe you & your Dad an apology. They from their armchairs forget that anyone can do the job when all things are going right. <br />Aviation at all levels is played for keeps & is mightily unforgiving.<br /><br />Capt Chris Goodfellow & the eye witness on the oil rig do him the most justice. One saw unknowing, the other knew unseen, that your father did his best to fly an aircraft that was intent on destroying itself.<br /><br />To be alone in the air at night, in an aircraft that is suffering catastrophic failure, with the pressing responsibility for the lives of 100s of your passengers weighing down on you, is to be very much alone indeed.<br />Know that your father, faced with a very real & dire airborne emergency, did all in his power through his training, experience & courage to save Flight MH 370, without the luxury of time or options in his favour.<br />Like all senior pilots he would have never lost hope nor ceased every attempt to resolve a critical situation which eventually proved to be insurmountable.<br />From eye witness accounts & what we can reasonably surmise from the evidence thus far, your father reacted in the most professional, logical & decisive manner. <br /><br />He displayed all the hall marks of good and quick judgment and decision making only gained from 18,000 hours in the left hand seat, and a cool, calm bravery that no peril can shake.<br />He may even have come very close to pulling off the impossible against all the odds stacked against him.<br /><br />Know also that he would have commanded the total loyalty of his First Officer.<br />The emergencies you train for almost never happen. It’s the one you can’t train for that may test beyond the limit.<br />As the doyen of pilots Ernie Gann observed wryly fate is the hunter in these matters.<br />Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah would have commanded Ernie’s respect as he does from many at the pointy end of aviation.<br /><br />Your father could have been anything he wanted to be. He chose aviation because he excelled at and loved flying.<br />He was a good & true man and a good father. You need hold nothing more than this love in your hearts for him for the rest of your lives.<br />He deserves nothing less than this from all of us.<br />With the greatest respect<br />Kindest condolences<br />Arthur Beau Palmer<br /><br />Of course jaded pilots world weary with bureaucracy have been heard to comment <br />You might as well let the incident kill you, as the investigation surely will.<br />Hurst, R&L. Pilot Error The Human Factors. Jason Aronson Inc; 2nd edition (April 1983) ISBN-10: 0876686293<br />Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect ( by pilots & maintenance engineers & air traffic controllers). <br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />Arthur Beau Palmer AD Fine Art (QCA) <br />+61 (07) 3876 0115 Mob: 0418 845 515 <br />Web: http://www.arthurbeaupalmer.com/cms/ (Artefact Gallery)<br />Arthur Beau Palmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-90772761890531763562014-04-20T02:33:00.161-04:002014-04-20T02:33:00.161-04:00Unfortunately the flight was crushed in purpose, d...Unfortunately the flight was crushed in purpose, don't know exactly why.
