This supposition is quite amusing from a distant point of view.
The facts of the case are clearly not in the public domain and as such I will limit my comments, suffice to say none of the crew required any medical attention, the Docs turn out to these events as a matter of course and were stood down on arrival.
An IR was completed as routine, like any incident, hence the name I guess.
The whole thread seems a little irrelevant.
If the point is to criticise aircrew for attempting to avoid completing IRs after incidents, then it is clearly flawed, as this is patently not true.
If it is to question the merits of delaying declaring an emergency until an emergency occurs then this also seems slightly irrelevant.
If it is to question the decisions made by the captain and crew on this day and in this situation, would it not be necessary to be aquainted with the full facts before commenting?
I leave it with you
