I think its generally agreed that most of the serious accidents derive from a series of problems, which overwhelm a crew, sometimes by mishandling other times by pure bad luck.
We may see something of that come out in the Helios investigation, much of which is discussed and/or alluded to in the other thread.
Resolving this problem in a timely and professional manner arguably stopped the "chain of events" in its tracks, not to mention being an endorsement for the training and preparation of the flight crew.
I would say that merits a big thumbs up
