When I was a new pilot in aviation, I remember some advice. If you care about your own survival you don't need to worry about how many hundreds of passengers you have behind you. You will do what is necessary for your own survival and then your passengers will be OK too.
Thank you. A hero is someone who is otherwise safe running in to a hazardous situation to rescue someone. For instance a bystander in the street running into a burning building to rescue someone. If someone is doing their job and doing it well, they deserve congratulations for a job well done, but their actions are not heroic.
