Appearing on TV Capt Birkill with his SFO, John Coward and Sharon Eaton, Purser with Willie Walsh in attendance made a short statement which was limited in content as one would imagine at this stage and with the AAIB still deliberating.
The most notable comment from Captain Birkhill was that SFO John Coward was PF and it was he that carried out the landing.
The Captain also made it known that his team on board was 'outstanding' and that Sharon attended the FD to ensure that they were OK before she herself descended the escape chute.
