Anyone who has flown professionally for any number of years knows that circumstances sometimes will lead you to a very uncomfortable position.. the smallest, seemingly insignificant decisions made many hours before are back to haunt you...
How about recognizing the courage of the crew in not hesitating to declare an emergency, to get their plane and passengers safely out of harms way. When they made that decision they fully understood the ramifications.. how many might have tried to avoid doing that and held on just a bit too long.. I suspect not a few. Well done guys.. I hope that it all comes out in your favour.
