FWIW
Our (USA) union's international pilot union committee guy put this note out earlier:-
"We've been in contact with BALPA throughout the day.
Needless to say, the fact that everyone walked away is a testament to the airplane and the flight crew and to be fair, the cabin crew.
At this point in time all we know is that the airplane suffered DUAL ENGINE FAILURE at 400 feet.
The BA flight crew has spent the day accompanied by two BALPA Reps.
The full BACC was just about to vote on action regarding OpenSkies as this event unfolded. As a result, that vote was delayed to accomodate all their resources to help both this crew and the multiple crews stranded as a result of LHR closing.
As more details emerge I will endeavor to provide such information.
In the meantime can I please ask that we refrain from speculation and send our best collective wishes to this crew."
