Hang on a sec...am I reading this correctly?
These "heroes" had a major bird strike on take-off followed by an engine failure.
They then "held" for TWO HOURS AND 40 MINUTES to burn fuel?????????????
Are they nuts????????????
In my book, losing an engine on a twin means LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT................NOW
An overweight landing check on a 757 takes about 20 minutes..and there'll be plenty of time available while they change an engine.
I sincerely hope this is NOT a reflection of BA Training.
