Everyone a bit tense after their big New Years Eve eh?
Wow, I cannot believe that we have to even defend the bloke's decision to land. This used to be the expected behaviour of a pilot, rather than necessitating a "well done". I always thought it was more the "required standard" really.
So because you seem to have been hammered: Well done Garth Jones.
What you did in the air was beaut. What you did after landing can be a lesson.
Wonder how much survival training the company had given those blokes. Is there a survival guide in the aircraft, or a "what to do" list/book? May have helped.
