I would have thought that both RR and Boeing have a lot to thank the crew for.

You would have the that RR would have taken them down to Goodwood and asked them what colour they would like. The reputation of RR was saved by the crew that day.

I wonder if they did get a thank you.

The engine behaved as designed and specified. No need for a thanks.

There is an interface issue between the design of the engine and the design of the aircraft which is being attended to by the airplane design regulator through research.

All the issues here are mostly chance and pilot skill. Whether it's extraordinary skill or average pilot skill is in the eye of the beholder. I suspect that based on the lessons learned so far that most of the like equipment pilots reading this thread will do as well
