I have followed this thread with great interest. I would like to say something from the perspective of 'the other side of the door'.
I spent just shy of 40 years on commercial jets and the folk at the sharp end brought me home safely to my loved ones every time.
It is easy to be critical when an incident like this occurs and it is true that mistakes can happen to even the most experienced pilot, however no one on that aircraft deserves to be vilified or pilloried. For what ever reason circumstances came together and the accident happened. The crew will be as unhappy as anyone about the outcome their careers will be blighted by this and for the younger ones their prospects will be diminished.
I hope that BA take a constructive approach to any action and that the folks at the front can continue to deliver the norm - safe and secure operations for all.
