Val d'Isere:
If you had bothered to read the report, you'd find that he stopped before the 737 had entered the runway; he heard the 737 being cleared to cross 06L, and stopped. He made the decision to stop based on this, and the fact that the 737 was now moving towards the runway at some considerable speed. Had he waited until the 737 had entered the runway, things probably would have been considerably worse.
This is called excellent situational-awareness, and yes, airmanship.
Ensuring that one's brain is loaded before shooting ones mouth off is highly advisable, especially on this forum.

I agree wholeheartedly about training and airmanship. The A321 Captain involved is one of the best around, a very highly respected and common-sense Training Captain. He is, and always has been, a great exponent of Airmanship.
