By definition whatever Capt Burkill, SFO Coward and the heavy did was correct as no one died on an a/c that tried to kill them. The criticisms are about finer points, which are several magnitudes of reality removed from the great job that was done.
I really wish Capt Burkill the best, it isn't hard to see how re-living the events in his mind every waking day can cause a lot of stress. He is a hero because he walked away from his striken a/c after all his crew and passengers were accounted for, alive, thanks to his decisions.
Not many airlines fly the BA monitored approach method. But to clarify once control is handed over it would be unlikely to improve things if the Capt took control back. SFO Coward is as capable at crash landing as Capt Burkill.
