@KingCaptain re Walsh:
I know you're joking and yes, agreed, the prospect of WW, Superhero, is, well, diverting.
But things really will surely have reached a pretty dire state of affairs if Walsh somehow comes to be represented as the champion of reason: I've been uncomfortable with BA's strategy right from early this morning.
Media is of course simplistic and populist and seeing the world in black and white without any allowance for particulates means they could now reduce this episode to the level of good guy v bad guy.
For which reason, I'm fully expecting that the flight crew of the Isle of Man meandering BA084 inbound from Vancover but now heading towards what I'm presuming will be a TV-chronicled live LHR landing could finish up being the new tabloid pin-up people of the hour.
They won't want that and neither the industry nor the pax need it.
But all the journalists assiduously reading PPRuNE will doubtless care little about that.
