Seriously, I don't have a problem with him praying, but atleast multi-task and quietly pray while attempting to save the aircraft.... :-/

I read about this yesterday and was going to post it, but could not get away from certain possible prejudices against a certain possible religion so I felt discretion was better valor a locked thread or ban :-X :-/ :-?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

There's certainly a conflict of priorities there - one that he and his co-pilot appear to have got fatally wrong.

Very worrying, and another airline to maybe think twice about after the apparent debacle in Amsterdam last month?
