Awards?

Personally, I think it is a little early to be handing out awards. The crew obviously did a fine job, but I think that even they would agree the award-givers might be politically motivated.

If it were me, I would rather wait until the investigation is finished; and then, if the aviation community were to decide that I was deserving, I would humbly accept whatever accolades were bestowed upon me.

Most of the professionals here would have done a fine job given the same circumstances. I think it is important to remember that we are all trained to deal with similar situations. If only one in a million pilots and crews are up to the task, I don't think I would feel comfortable flying again, with anyone, including myself.
