Bit like the soux City DC10 incident, bloke who did the most work was a positioning pilot who was sat down the back, came up front to offer any help and was him that pointed out they had lost all hydraulics, and then came up with the idea of using centre and pod engine power to adjust the pitch, not the bloke in the left seat
Interesting debate on Radio 2 as to is the bloke a "hero" or not, and was he not just doing what he gets paid for? Nobody doubting the crew did a blody good job in putting it down safe, but does that make him a hero? is ditching in the annual sim check for the company i wonder? bet it is from now on!
No mention of the cabin crew! they are the ones that look after back end after the thing came to a halt! Thing is they are not ex military and dont have the interesting name!!!!
