I don't know the individuals involved well, but by their reputation the experience in that cockpit is likely well in excess of many of the all knowing posters. I like to remember something my first Captain said as a young DC3 copilot( thats what we were called).
We had just witnessed another DC3 slide off the side of a greasy northern airstrip covered in snow ice etc in equally poor weather. I recall him saying sheit but there for the grace of god go I. Its rather like the saying regarding landing with the gear still up. There are two kinds of pilots those that have and those that still might. Don't judge the actions of professionals" yes they are very PROFESSIONAL" without all the facts, they made a split second decision that could very well ahve saved everyone on that aircraft. Well done gentlemen.
