looking to get him an award from Boeing.

- award for swimming skills?
- award for...?
actually, the crew just recycled 89 million dollars of aircraft into sauce pans, probably a % finders fee of the replacement price would be in order. That would be worth awarding.
Early days, but planes missing planet earth by a couple of hundred feet usually have fairly distinct causes, most not desirable to have on your resume. In defence of the crew, the company has a very large responsibility in any outcome that is related to the crew decisions due to the pervasive FTL breaches by the company and what appears to be commercial pressures that would require that sort of cultural norm/normalisation of deviation, to exist.
Finding out what happened is straight forward, the why bit is going to have the usual regional issues and potential for obfuscation.
On putting the bureaucrats into training planes, I think it is a great idea, gets rid of the bureaucratic overhead, recycles the destroyed planes thus invigorating the manufacturers, and stops the bureaucrats causing greater damage to the industry. I like it. The proverbial Win-Win, not quite a Prisoners Dilemma or a Nash equilibrium, but good all round. Perhaps treating the aircrew as professionals instead of livestock may suffice?
MGW...
Mesoscale gravity waves are relatively large scale phenomena, not on the scale of the microburst. Nice try.
