Just to confirm Wiggy, the SOP for the (read and do) evac checklist is for the First Officer to make the final evacuating ATC call.
Nope, the checklist says that the Captain makes the evacuating call to ATC/Ground....(but the captain can operate outside the SOPs if circumstances demand it).
The media don't seem to have grasped that there were three highly trained pilots on the flight deck.
Agreed, then again it's spares two of the guys the joys of having their Facebook stuff in the Daily Mail, so maybe they win
