It's nice to see some people agree with my sentiments, if not put them across in a more reasoned fashion!
Julio, I will tell you the type of pilot I would like on my flight.....I would like a pilot that uses all of his available resources to ensure a safe outcome. That includes communication, communication with the tower, RFF, cabin crew and anyone else that can offer valuable information. Once this pilot has collected all the available info to hand (camera, EICAS messages etc) they will possibly use DODAR or some other decision making tool to come up with their decision, which will, by virtue of the R, be reviewed so there should be an assessment of the initial decision.
Once again I reiterate......until we are in possession of all the facts how can you dismiss this Captains decision not to evacuate?
Regards,
