I have noticed a propensity among some of the correspondants of pprune to generally seeks to critizise the actions of other pilots whenever the opportunity arises, particularly in cases such as this.

Irrespective of what may have been the root cause of the incident, the pilots clearly pulled off a display of outstanding skill and airmanship - and certainly a feat that only a very tiny minority from our profession would be able to repeat given the circumstances.

Of course we would all love to believe that we are excellent pilots, and could indeed have pulled off the same feat - but in reality most of us would never have rescued themselves from such a situation, IRRESPECTIVE of what may or may not have been the initial cause.

I sense that those correspondants who choose to draw to our attention possible ommissions made by the crew are simply those whose jealousy has got the better of them - or perhaps it's their insecurity - they haven't yet had the chance to display the skill they are not sure they posses!
