It's great to read in the world media and on Prune, the accolades being afforded the crew re this ditching.

Accolades that are well warranted and that bring to the attention of the general public the skill and training of all airline pilots and cabin crew, the world over, that are too often ignored.

It's just a pity that when the shouting dies down and a group of pilots, somewhere in the world, takes industrial action over a safety issue that the general public, Prune and the media, will once again attempt to crucify airline pilots as a mercenary bunch of overpaid glorified bus drivers!
