a bunch of largely uneducated prima-donnas and know-alls who can't resist the opportunity to damn their peers from their own "high" positions.
...yep....that definitely describes
some ppruners.
What we do know is that an aeroplane with passengers aboard lost power unexpectedly and landed in the water and that everyone aboard has come away without loss of life or serious injury. For that, the pilot deserves our highest professional respect
Well said. Whether or not it was pilot error, she still dealt with the situation and got her passengers out safely. At the end of the day, she was faced with a situation, and she kept her composure and dealt with it appropriately. While we sit here and analyse the situation to death (which im sure will happen) we should ask ourselves......in the same situation, could we have achieved the same outcome.
Well done.
