These young guys delivered when they had to, the Captain was not long in the left hand seat and a great result was achieved. No loss off life and no hull loss.
The thing that strikes me most is that 99% of the staff in Cathay don't know his name and he and the FO do not seek fame and adulation. A far cry from other tossers who got an opportunity to strut their stuff and sought out crass television interviews by the dozen, wrote books and sought individual glory without giving credit to other crew members....and even did not actually pass the line check he was on....Warren comes to mind, and apologies to the hundreds of good pilots in that mob. Even Sully soaked it up a bit too much IMHO
Whilst internally, in CX the Chairman of CX did show class and has spent some time with our young man who performed on the day and to Capt XX and FO XX well done you have the universal respect of 100% of your co workers you do deserve an award for distinguished flying skills.
