Stale news, they were fired in the last week of Dec. 2015, the PIC was accused quite rightfylly for derelictin of duty and taking a terribly dangerous shortcut, ditto FO. The two relief crew were fired fur not asserting in a strong manner the extremely dangerous situation PIC put 350+ sould on board.
Wondered when you'd post. If I recall correctly, you predicted them being toast almost before they landed.
Indeed, I have my sources, don't you remember I so stated
Furthermore I also stated that the PIC was an individual of Spanish nationality, and this was not included in the press reléase.
On my first flight lesson, my instructor repeated the saying: "There's nothing more useless than runway behind you and altitude above you!"
Even flying a single engine airplane, I was advised to always use the full length of the runway. Regardless of the performance data, there is no real good reason to request an intersection departure, especially for a heavy jet!

I could say something about the nationality/religion of the aircrew but it would be deleted as not PC, as were some posts!
Please compare safety records, even with essentially the same equipment there is a big difference. Aircrew and other workers are the big variable.
Being PC is not the way to increase aviation safety, and that is what it is all about!!
