West Coast, I may disagree with you vehemently on JB, but I concur. I can't believe this post mortem is still going on. Everyone got out safely and the plane didn't break into little pieces unlike other ditchings.
The aircraft reached 3,000ft right ? Only non-aviators would fail to comprehend how little time that leaves to advise the cabin crew and passengers, inform ATC of intentions, look for a runway, attempt to run a check-list with his F/O, fly the aircraft and then have the presence of mind to deal with the aftermath of the ditching.
No ditching button or no May Day call ? So what ? The Captain did a bloody good job in the 3 or so minutes he had.
