Well Put Jay Arr
I am a LAME 744 rated and I have to agree strongly with you Jay Arr.
Mate, I bet if some of the "What ever/ big deal" people were on that flight as pax much less flying the thing they would be crapping themselves!!
Pretty easy to make big statements on the net people. The guys flying that thing did a top job. Do not belittle what they have done. Every time they jump into the cockpit they are taking on a MASSIVE resposibility and those guys stood up to the litmus test.
These are the sort of Pilots that make QF what it is. The s##t doesn't hit the fan to often, but when it does they are up to it!
Great job you guys! You ARE worth more money.
