BA 777 crash

[Baronpilot244]

The two links below are a phone interview with Capt Peter Burkill who was in command of BA038 which crashed short of the runway after a double engine rollback - I'm hoping the links work! You may have to sign up with AVweb to listen.
It really highlights the difference in the way this BA Capt was treated post accident as was Capt Sullenberger.

Just thought this was interesting and wanted to pass it along.

if he wanted better treatment, he should have aimed for the thames.

I honestly thought he believed he could make a killing as a 'hero' with his book, on the talk circuit and gave up BA - no he didn't manage the new opportunities well so he is stuck!

While I'm not saying he did a bad job - I got the feeling he came off as a bit, well, whiney.

I am not sure how long ago this recording was made, but did he ever go to the middle east at all like it says in the tape? Or is he still just sitting on the couch in London.
