I remember 3 to 4 days after the occurrence, Picher, the First Officer and 2 Air transat VPs they did a press conference in YMX. When the 4 of them walked in they all had a long face, not reflecting a job well done.
I tought, something not nice happenned in this occurrence. I heard through the grapevines, that if they did not ditch, it is because the FO told Picher to go to Lajes because Picher despite what was happening wanted to proceed to mainland Portugal...
Still, to do a movie on him is a total waste of time and money for an occurrence that should have finished with a single engine landing in Lajes if things have done correctly...
