XV235: For the little this is worth, I think the captain did a stirling job there -
look at the total flying hours, without intending any offence this isn't a flight deck occupied by swaggering, hoary old Shacklebomber types with a fund of stories about Ballykelly and a back support.... to my mind this looks like very sensible preplanning combined with decisive action from a crew who don't have that big a fund of experience to call on when the brown stuff hits the fan. I can easily imagine myself echoing the S1's calls too.
