I can't be bothered to drag through nine pages of postings on this so forgive me if I duplicate.
This crew ended up with a scenario not seen before in modern times with little time to assess the situation and resolve it. It ended up as a happy story partly through flying ability aided by more than a shovel full of luck.
A major event such as this is bound to concentrate the mind on life, the universe and everything so a change in career direction is to be expected.
Meanwhile the BA publicity machine is going to work flat out of making a near disaster into a
PR bonus, and try to take the crew along with them. If the crew do not want to be made some sort of hero, which they probably do not, then they will be in opposition to company protocol. What would you do? Go along with the
PR machine? Fall on your sword and be labelled a martyr? Just get the hell out of it and start again?
I think I would distance myself from the politics and get on with life.
