1. Your command decision to leave John as PF while you took command of the situation was outstanding, and clearly led to the next decision which saved a worse outcome.
Sorry to interrupt your eulogising but that is the way BA train the handling of the majority of non-normal situations....
... and I understand that BA was one of the very early adopters of this philosophy.
My point is that Capt. Burkill exemplified this philosophy and put it to good use under extreme stress.
If we haven't been in the position he was, how do we know whether a eulogy is deserved or not?
I prefer to allow him the benefit of praise for his actions because we will never know whether all BA Captains, with the benefit of their training, would have responded equally or not.
