What a load of rubbish so any pilots flying on a shoestring budget.
can you tell us which airlines they are, would have gone straight in with out trying to save the aircraft, the mind boggles with some of the posts here
So saying that I thought the crew did a good job is wrong????? I really don't see what's wrong with that opinion. The point I was making is that not all airlines are equal, and BA do seem to have a better reputation than some with safety.
I don't think you read my post properly. My main purpose was in response to the poster who thought this looks bad for BA. I disagree, and think that the way they handled it in getting it down without loss of life and aircraft is a credit to them, and as SLF it is more likely to make me choose to fly BA than less likely. I'm sure with the benefit of hindsight lessons will be learned, but I do think it's a credit to the crew for bringing it down safely. Why people here are knocking this beats me. Surely as a fare paying passenger that's what you actually want to happen??
