Don't know if it was earlier in this thread, but I just found out that the FO was flying initially, then the Captain took control to put it down. Did you already know that the Captain was the PF (pilot flying)?
And the analogy in my mind is that Jerome gets a feed in front of the net, makes a great shot to win 1-0, but nobody cares about the goalie, the defencemen, the 3rd line grinders, or the guy that passed him the puck. But it was still a great shot.
Don't get me wrong, it was great work, very impressive, and very gratifying to see this crew, lead by this Captain, see this through to such a positive outcome.
I just get tired of the 'news channel as entertainment' angle of jumping to all sorts of conclusions and declaring a real american hero to make impressive headlines.
Good to see everyone walk away though.
