Hmmm...... a regrettable lack of foresight but better than crashing the plane, I would venture. I do wonder, though, how much different landing a Q400 in fog could be from doing the same in a Q300. I mean, how much different could it be? Maybe some pilots out there who would know?

Probably not that much, perhaps the 'stack' is a little different but an ILS is an ILS.

More to do with regulations and unions I would suspect. If he had landed sucessfully they could have stripped him of his license.

(wanna read about bureaucracy at its finest? Try Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Just a sidenote, my favourite book
