As a veteran viewer of any Air Crash Investigation, I found this a horrific documentary - and that was just as a television viewer! It seemed like very high quality journalism, with many of the subjects of he interviews being "First Person": five out of six of the occupants of the plane, several of the people on the ground at NI who helped in the rescue, the airport comms guy at NI airport, high level management at both CASA and ATSB. And significant amounts of actual recordings and video from the day.
The TV show had at least one item that was obviously unknown to the ATSB senior guy being interviewed. I won't include any of the content of the TV show, that would clearly be editorialising. However, despite the ATSB report being marked as "Final", this is clearly not the end of the story.
Finally, in the interests of fairness, it needs to be reported that the pilot was suspended not punitively, but as a routine matter because there immediately existed the possibility of pilot error and excessive fatigue. And that the pilot has now had most of his licences reinstated.
