as much as I appreciate your positivity, I’ve got an issue with this take on an incident.
”I’m sure the safest most prudent decision was made.”
then:
”well done crew.”
so without any facts, you start with assuming they did “the safest and most prudent” job and then congratulating them without even knowing if they did a good job? I think as pilots we ought to wait for the facts before jumping to any conclusions, whether they be positive or negative.
this crew might just have easily executed this event poorly, but it would also be a disservice to assume that until we know the details.
