Its a serious question, not trolling. As I recall, without reading about the incident again, the pax sat in the aircraft for about 20 minutes, fortunately with no ill effects.
As far as I can recall, the ATSB implied that maybe they should have evacuated the aircraft, but did not look into the decision making process that led to the decision not to evacuate.
Since my delicate questioning has not produced the desired response, and at the risk of getting my head bitten off for not being a 40,000 hour B747 pilot and having the temerity to ask questions, I'd like to ask whether the decision not to evacuate in BKK was a logical one based on mature consideration of the issues by all those involved, or was it a stuff up?
Has Qantas looked at the BKK event and learned or changed anything as a result?
In other words, would Qantas perform as well as the BA crew did in the States?
