After having flown the 75 200 and 300. I prefer the 200 for performance anyday. The 300 performs like a 72 with dash 15 engines and rarely could get abv 350. Although after flying a brand new 300 from Boeing field,still gotta love that new plane smell.

It is so sad to see so many "pilots" attack a peer for making a decision which resulted in a safe landing. Okay, we can state the pros and cons of what he did and how we might handle the situation, but the plane is on the ground undamaged and everyone walked away. Could there have been another path to a safe landing? Sure, but would it have been a better choice? Who knows! The guy made a quick choice and it worked!
Maybe the best plan would have been to get the plane on the localizer, engage the autoland, leave the cockpit, and sit in the back just incase the drugs the the terrorists gave the captian affected the FO too!

Agreed. Every one of you wouldn't want people second guessing your actions in an emergency, especially if it resulted in a safe landing... yet many of you still want to do the same to someone else.
