The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB)'s report on the Ahmedabad-London Air India plane crash last month is based on preliminary findings, and one should not jump to conclusions till the final report is released, Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu said on Saturday. "I don't think we should jump to any conclusions over this. I believe we have the most wonderful workforce of pilots and crew in the whole world. I must appreciate the efforts of the pilots and crew of the country; they are the backbone of civil aviation. They are the primary resource of civil aviation. We care for the welfare and well-being of the pilots too. So let us not jump into any conclusions at this stage and wait for the final report," he told reporters.
