Oh dear. Dear jondc9
You think that they had an engine failure. Spoke to the "Company" and the Director of operations, Chief pilot, or President of company. Or his gofer said. "Continue to London."
The actual line of events is the "company" will be a bunch of engineers, in London, who will be pouring over a whole pile of engine data that will have been spat instantly via satellite down the data link. Who will then look at the data and give advice to the Captain as to the state of the engine and, the likely cause of the failure.
Three button pushes gets you talking to LHR Operations. 30 seconds at most.
The Captain will then make his own decision as to what to do. He is the man in the frame. That is what he is paid to do. He carries the can. He decides. On the day he continued.
