Scam sniffer, I and no doubt many others take exception to your insinuation that this particular captain was "prepared to take all the credit."
He is probably very embarrassed by all the attention and has made no public statements to my knowledge.
Unfortunately he drew the short straw in this incident. Fortunately, he and his crew did their jobs in an exemplary fashion and I am sure he'd be the very first to acknowledge all the assistance and experience, flight and cabin, that was available to him as part of his crew.
