Brilliant Stuff Congratulations to the crew!!!! Well Done!!
Er, yes for the actions after they were bobbing around in the dark ocean phase. For what happened before I'll hold my applause until we have more information. No briefing to the passengers doesn't help make the ditching sound like a planned event. Let's wait and see whether it was CFIT or not, and if it was CFIT then there is a whole other world of technology and SOP's and training to analyze before pasting it on the pilots.
If all that money, two pilots, gadgets and gizmos, fancy EFIS displays, EGPWS, don't help keep it out of the water, then why spend 30 mil on one? If the selling point of an aircraft is how well it floats on the surface after it goes into the water, then I suggest that the manufacturers have gone in the wrong direction. I'll take the one that doesn't end up in the water, thank you. Yeah, the old 61 could bob pretty good too.
