I found that story utter disrespectful to Fariq and his family.
That's what Australia does, finds the worst in people.
The key point in the story was the girls felt as though they were completely safe and did their job as they should have. Also, I did not see one picture with them in the air but one with the captain.
I feel as though this story showing how much of a caring person he is, is a much better sentiment:

P.S. They were flying in a 767 it appears from the pictures. Different aircraft type, different and more training since 2011. I'm sure he was an excellent pilot. Must look at the positives.
