Or to look at it another way, without wishing to undermine the old Ego-saur (heaven forbid) - who cares? They got down in one piece.
From reports it would appear the F/O was a very experienced guy, had the F/O been PF at the time of the failure, the captain may well have elected to leave flying the a/c to him while he considered the available areas to get down safely. Whatever the captain did, he made the right choice.
Does anyone honestly give a
who landed the thing?
